A guy on the SKS forums bought one for the SKS.  To me they look like they were made from kitchen cutting boards.  His review was not very favorable for a $350 stock.  He said it looked like a very early beta stock.  There are unfinished cut edges all over, there were gaps and non flush mating of surfaces, overall the quality fit and finish resembled a prototype not a finished stock.

the magazine release tab can easily be reached if you want to run detachable duckbills (outside of California of course)



Also there is a foldaway front pistol grip


Now the real problem.
The stocks fit and finish scream "ALPHA PROTOTYPE"
Its neat how its all put together but there are rough sawn edges, panels not quite matching up etc.
This stock would be a killer if they went the injection molding route.
Maybe this will come in the future, but for 350 bucks as it is right now, they are not quite there, I really hope the "pro" this up a bit more.

please see the attached pics

Thanks for those pics panoz, definitely not worth asking price with that F&F.

Yeah thanks for the pics. It all looks way different on their website then what it actually is. If they clean all of that up it would be sweet, but not for that much money now.

That and the fact that for the money, I could by somewhere between 3 and 5 Mosins for that amount of cash, depending on the price.

I agree it's overkill with that price tag but have to say that if they make one for a 500 or an 870 I'd be in there like swimwear.

That does look terrible. I don't believe I would put any rifle through that.

Okay, I was getting a little thrill run up leg until I saw those photos and heard about the unfavorable review.  I’ll direct my meager funds to other projects.

I didn't say which ones I liked.........I also have a Mossberg 702 & Ruger 10/22 that fit the bill.

But honestly, the Mosin version is very, very wicked looking, would I ever do it to one, if it had been chopped already beyond restoring to original?  The answer would be YES!

Apparently Hell is a little cooler this time of year.  The mosin does look very mean and intimidating which I like.  It looks kinda like  a tactical nazi slayer.  What I dont like is that its a bolt action bullpup.
