my stock dropped in very easily!i had a dragonuv stock on and changed to the A.T.I. for the simple reason that i have long arms.the six position stock is AWESOME!fits me perfect.i didn't think i would like the folding part of it but after shooting it it's the best.you can accuratlly shot from the hip with no problem.this stock is much better then the tapco version (for the same price) because of the three pictanny rails on it.i would recommend this stock to anybody looking for a tactical stock for your sks.

WOW! When I got this stock it said "drop in". I figured some mods to the product but... I've got a sinu-soviet 1954 SKS and I love the gun but I had to remove tons of material to fit right. The company wanted the guns to fit with a little bit to much bow in the stock for my taste. While bedding a rifle, I don't like to have any pressure on the barrel. Did your stock bow onto the gun?? Not mine. It was tedious to get the rifle to bed perfectly with no bowing and yet still be tight in the stock. Had to remove material for my metal removeable clips. The finished product though was and is and always will be very worth it. Took me four hours. But then again I'm a perfectionist. Would I do it again? DEFINATELY! So adjustable, Comfortable, Looks cool.

Just to reinforce the above statements. SOME MODIFICATIONS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PROPER FIT IN SOME INSTANCES. It took me about an hour to get everything to fit correctly. it definitely did not just "drop in" for me. I needed to fit trigger group as well as the magazine. TAPCO mags (the best you can get for an SKS) DO NOT fit without modification. Instead of trimming back the stock I took a different approach and removed a bit of material off the front nose of the duck bill on the TAPCO mag. I am happy but this is definitely not as easy to install as the TAPCO T6 (of which I have had 3).

Great stock! Looks killer,feels great,drop in fit for my Norinco sks. Took 10 minutes to install with zero modifications. Steel mags fit perfect,but Tapco mags do not fit at all with out some mods.

first i must say if you do not have a dremel tool you will not be able to install. that being said this stock is awsome, it is not flimsy like other ATI stocks. it looks bad a$$ and funtions very well. i have a russian sks and it fits good after you grind out the trigger well. it comes with like six different sling swivels and a bunch of different weaver rails wich the ad does not tell you. all and all kick butt!

I just recieved my SKS ATI folding stock, very nice piece once installed, however it did take a little more time to install than most of thier other stocks. Personally if you do no have access to an endmill, c-clamp, belt sander, tools, & alot of patience, you may want to seek help to install this stock, but again, it's a VERY NICE looking & functionable stock!

Bought this stock with my Yugo SKS recently. I was expecting to do some filing based on the other review here. After some trial and error, I ended up busting out the drill and a large bit, and the dremel to make the area where the trigger assembly would fit deeper. It was too shallow and the upper and lower parts of the gun wouldn't snap together. After that, it went in fine, snug fit. All that work was worth it, because I really like this stock. It is very comfortable, and very sturdy. I have put about 50 rounds through with this stock so far, but it doesn't feel like it's going to give out ever. I thought it was the coolest looking stock out there which is why I bought it. If you are willing to put a little effort into making it fit, it's definitely worth it.

Well, this definitely is a bad-ass stock, No question about that. Be prepared to dremel out the portion between the barrel, and the trigger grouping though. That is what I had to do for my Yugo type 56. Also be prepared to remove the bayonet as there is no slit cut in the stock for it. (not like it was very useful anyways). All in all I will give this a 4/5 just because of the work required to get this thing on.

I recently put an ATI stock on a SKS rifle it can take quite a bit of modifing. The instructions tell you to remove the pisol grip first so the trigger assembly will go in. After you have placed the barrel and action in the new stock place the trigger assembly in. Then the instructions state " if the trigger does not fully lock into place some minor modifications may be needed". "Due to the many variations of the SKS a small amount material may need to be removed to provide the proper fit". You will need a Dremel tool to remove the plastic beneath the pistol grip to get the trigger assembly to snap into place. The particular SKS rifle I was working on required a lot of material to be removed in order to get the trigger to snap into place. I have insalled a lot of after market stocks and the ATI stock was the most difficult of all. All though after the stock was installed it looked very nice and functioned well.
