Does this stock decrease the weight of SKS with original wood stock? If so, by how much?

Made it slightly heavier but not too much. You may need to file the stock a little to get a proper fit. I got mine in after a little off around the front cap and some around the receiver. It seems to be an ok full stock which has no folding parts to break and it shoots good. And my friends are always trying to buy so it looks nice. Four out of five stars cause of the filing.

I have put mine on my SKS and have had no problems what-so-ever, and it seems to maintain a zero just fine.

I can not tell you! I only know that when I ordered my kit(I called Blackhawk) and was told that the stock was what I needed! The installation of the stock was fine,not any problems! However the "forend" would not fit my Mossberg 500 as I was told. The stock works great,I only wish the forend did also!

I replaced the target thumbhole on my mini so it reduced it for me. Not sure about a traditional Ranch stock if that's what your replacing. The action dropped right in and feels great.

Gotta file stock where it meets the stock tang. id go ahead an try par arms this isnt any cheaper an its heavyier just my 2 cents. The hinge part makes no sense im pretty darn sure most akms have a rear sight block for the rear sight leaf... is simple kalishnakov knowledge comrad!

I don't recommend this adapter .. You may get lucky if your barrel fit but it will fell off someday .. You may buy the threading barrel kit to thread your SKS that will be better .. Cost you less than 50 buck including muzzle brake .. Good luck with your project

I don't have a 10/22 wood stock, but it's approximately 1/2" longer than the synthetic stock mine came with, measured at the center the of back of the stock. My synthetic stock has a curved butt, so the 'points' of the curve are about the same length as the flat butt of the hogue stock. For me the Hogue stock was an improvement. The comb is also higher, which could be good or bad depending on your application. I have mine set up with Tech Sights, and it works well for that.

Not exactly. I contacted TAPCO and they said some SKS have issues, but there is a fix and they sent me a diagram of the spots on the magazine that need to be sanded a bit. After sanding they worked fine. I was concerned that the sanding might effect my warranty and they said it would not.

I think you can put it where you want. If you use a recoil pad, you'll want space for that. With a wood stock you want to be far enough that you're not concerned with splitting.

To me it made a big difference. The synthetic stock has a limb saver pad built in so absorbs a lot of the recoil. I think it's has a shorter length of pull also, so you can get the gun in tighter to your body.

They work just fine with it. In fact mine fit better with this stock than the original wood one did.

I looked and couldn't find the Part number 306495 listed by Remington. What type of weapon are you trying to find a recoil pad for? Send me the Model number ie. Model 700 or 870 etc. I'll also need to know if it has a wooden stock or synthetic and if it is a standard length or youth model. Give me that information and I can help you out.

I see no problems there. Stock is symmetrical, safety moves fore-aft. If weight suits you, enjoy!

Externally the geometry of the stock is identical--it feels the same as the real deal and the weight is essentially identical, but I don't know if it is actually Walnut [like the real deal]. If you're looking for an authentic look and feel, this thing delivers, but if you're looking for a source of parts for a working Garand I think you'll be disappointed. On the outside, the stock couldn't be more accurate, but you have to bear in mind that the insides of the three pieces [particularly the rear] have been milled out far more extensively to wrap around an authentic receiver etc... I can't imagine that the amount of work that would go into disassembling the faux Garand [a task in itself--as the pieces are joined by more than just screws], machining the inside to precise specifications and affixing them to legitimate hardware will be less expensive and time consuming than buying an actual replacement stock. In short, It looks like walnut, feels identical in shape and weight, but is never gonna be an ideal source for parts...

Yes this is compatible with a Chinese SKS. It will work for all models of the sks. You may have to do some fitting though regardless of the type of SKS. If you are looking for a black stock I would highly recommend just taking the old wood stock and sand it real good and get it cleaned up and then stain it black. I did my buddies that way and it turned out better than using this stock. This stock is not very comfortable and lacks the recoil bolt so the weapon can come out of the stock if hit with the right amount of force as the only thing really holding it to the stock with any pressure is the spring under the trigger guard.

the stocks are the same length at the buttstock. I have the M44 carbine, my buttstock is small. The pad moves around too much. IMO the pad works best with medium to large buttstocks.

Ok so I don't have it stock anymore. I put a Leupold Crossbones on it instead of the luminated no brand that it came with. The other was fine I just have older eyes and prefer Leupold. I also installed limbsavers and updated to an Alpine quiver that holds 6 arrows instead of 3. All of that may or may not have added to its weight. Mine weighs in at 11.8 #. I bought the Primos trigger stick 2 and that solved the weight issue. Don't let the weight scare you away, this is an amazingly fast and accurate bow. I carry it with a threepoint AR-15 sling which hangs it in front and to my left side for quick target acquisition and so that I can watch my limbs and cables as I go through the brush. Hope this helped.
