Okay, at having just installed this yesterday, these two videos not only need to be updated, but done a bit better. There are paper instructions included, but even those leave a lot to be desired. All it would take is a day to sit down, take a few extra pics and be a little more succint with the install. Having said that, if you can proficiently break your sks down completely, own a dremel tool and three or four different allen wrenches, you should be able to do this installation. If this comment section were longer, I'd nitpick the video to death but suffice it to say, the video should be done again. The product? It looks impressive and overall, I'm satisfied with it, short of a range visit.
I gotta tell you .... This is an EXCELLENT bull pup conversion for the SKS. I did a Paratrooper model with a few mods to the gun and it ROCKS. It looks like a Tavor but shoots the venerable 7.62x39. Also, parts are (were?) a lot cheaper.
Don't remove the negative comments, anyone who looks at what you guys have put together can clearly see that the wait was worth it. Nice job, look forward to getting mine... waiting a year was painful, but appears to be worth it.
@Dmajorproductions You can remove the FSB by tapping out the 2 pins holding it in place on the barrel. Then, you heat the front sight area, then the bayonet lug. You tap the bayonet lug toward the end of the muzzle, removing it. Usually, this is hard as hell because the FSB is happy where it is and doesn't want to come off. You can angle the rifle muzzle down, buttstock up, then place a block of wood on top of the BL, then hit with mallet, taking care not to strike the barrel. Good luck.
I bought mine a few days ago. Don't care if it takes a few months. I bought a Hammer/Sear/Trigger kit from Murray's Guns to be compliant. I tried to find an American made fixed 10 round mag but I couldn't find one made of metal. The kit from Murrays was $85. Counts as three pieces. Removing the handguard and FSB took me under compliance. I live in CA so its rough, but removable mags for the SKS are a crapshoot anyway.
@mpeugeot I agree don't remove comments posted. tbt10f's comment was just an internet cop statement about how the rifle wasn't safety checked right off the bat so the internet could see that it was unloaded. At 1:45 the rifle is proven to be unloaded when the magazine is removed and is obviously empty. I don't see what the big deal is since I would check my weapon to ensure it was unloaded before I started filming a video (unless of course it was a shooting vid). Safety check doesn't hurt though
At first, this young lady states there is "no cutting drilling or filing" to put the stock on, but a short time later, that's exactly what will be needed, according to her instructions, using both a hand file and a dremel tool.As intricate as this thing is, I have to wonder about functionality. Simple it is not. That usually means more possible problems in functioning. That aside, this has got to be a real pain when it come time to clean this weapon, if you have to go through all this each time.
no cutting to the gun. The stock may require modification. I put a monte Carlo stock on a Mosin Nagant that needed quite a bit of modification to the reciever area of the stock to allow the gun to be loaded.
SKS and the AK platform arnt the Holy grail, but he does kinda have a point. Aftermarket parts normally do not agree with the SKS, tho this one LOOKS really good. The SKS and AK platforms have been tested time and time again. If you were to put the most Badass AR and a throwdown Ak in front of me and tell me to pick one to protect myself with, i will ALWAYS pick the AK. Also, sad to see a Russian SKS dismatled. We have so few of them in the US as it is.
I paid for an order back on 09/06/2018 and still have not received all of the order. Have emailed and left several voicemail messages with no response. Horrible customer service, will be contacting PayPal for a full refund
What are the recommended in/lbs. for the various screws? It looks like it would be easy to over-tighten and dislocate the brass bushings, but at the same time you don't want this thing rattling loose.
I cant wait for mine to get in, but can some one give me some advice on removing my front sight? I looked around and from what I've read, there is a tool specifically for removing it. Is this the right way to go or is there a way to do it with a tool I probably already have?
i noticed at 1:23 when you removed the trigger assembly, the trigger was already removed, how is this done? is it just the pin you placed later in the trigger up front?
Still waiting on mine :( Hopefully only a couple more months, can't wait. Already have a foregrip and red dot sight picked out :) Just wondering......Anyone put one of these on a paratrooper sks yet???
@toasty4000000 To remove the entire front sight/bayonet lug assembly on anything other than a yugo- you simply need a punch and a hammer. tap out the 2 pins...one on top and one in the rear of the sight "slide" and a little heat and a few whacks and voila...she will come right off. if you have a yugo and want to remove the grenade launcher..you need a tool...best way to do that one.

I wish they made a mod that would work on the SKS-M
i'm assuming you've already figured it out, but i'll answer this question for everybody else. to remove the front sight assembly from the barrel, you'll need: several blocks of wood, a hammer, a rubber mallet, a blowtorch, some wd40, a punch set, another punch set, scuba gear, two heavy duty trucks, some chains, heavy duty clamps, several nobel prize winners-- in the areas of physics, chemistry, and medicine, a priest, a rabbi, and a buddhist monk.
honestly, i wonder how many times the rear sight was taken out before this video was shot? was it filed or something to just come right out like that? the video almost feels disingenuous. i spent over an hour trying to get my rear sight removed. i watched several other videos about it also. it doesn't just pop right out like that ever. bear in mind i have worked on many firearms in the past 30 years, so i'm not exactly a noob at this. i do like the stock very much though. for it's small platform application it is better than ati and tapco. the archangel is also good but very heavy.
i had a lot of trouble too but realized i wasn't doing it exactly like she did it ( forcing the leaf site back don after the screwdriver is in, then twist the screwdriver), when i payed more attention it came out easy.
As a Ret. sailor... I found this video very hard not to make sex jokes too.... This hole, that hole, put it in this hole, feel around until you feel the hole and so on. Haha
You skipped a couple very important steps. Like making sure the damn thing isn't loaded. And that the chamber is clear before bangin away on the trigger group.
If you have a Yugo SKS like I just bought, apparently the dis-assembly process for removing the grenade launcher and front sight is a chore..after watching Savage1r's vid.. I'm just taking my gun to a gunsmith to have it stripped down..Prolly should have did more research before buying this conversion kit..
Great - a black rifle filmed against a black background and a lady in a black dress. Also, poor lighting and plenty of dark shadows. Aside from that, an informative video. Gets better around 3:42.☺
You put your underage daughter up there on the Internet and someone made a vulgar comment? Gee, never would've seen that coming ROLF. Apparently a good rifle-designer does not a good father make.
@chezypuuf The origin of the gun has nothing to do with it. I don't like the former USSR (Or present Russia for that matter) but that has nothing to do with that gun. The ak47 is one of the best rifles in the world. My brother owns one and it's amazing. I own the SKS; It's amazing as-well. It's "Cheap" Because they mass-produced the hell out of it. Like the ak47. Its an amazing gun. It may not be a AR-15 but it has its advantages over 1000$ Guns. So stop trolling.
@w3bj3d12 first off the underage comment what does that mean, shes putting a gun together not sipping some of grandpas cough medicine, next i know as you do also, that the worlds not perfect but really should her father have had to worry about a vulgar comment, or should there not be immature people in the first place to leave them, ur comment sounded to me like you are less against vulgar comments, and more for people changing their videos to some overly modest universally friendly trash heap
Horrible product. I just installed and promptly uninstalled my friends Russian SKS from one of these stocks. Some of the worst "engineering" Ive ever seen in a firearm product. Dozens of places to fail. You need every tool/allen wrench in the shop to install. And just flimsy all around. Especially for something made to house a .30. I wouldnt shoot one of these if you gave it to me.
So I bought an older Yugo SKS from a guy at work for $250..Saw this Bull Pup Kit and bought it off a seller on Ebay, $325(NIB)... Probably gonna take my SKS to a gunsmith to have the grenade launcher and front site assy. removed..(I don't have access to a machine shop right now) maybe $100? I just wonder after all this if I could sell it for a decent profit.. Any one know what one of these completed guns go for?
I am watching her at the whole time, not even paying attention to what the install, LOL keep up video.

Love my SG stock! I cannot believe the quality and difference it made!
Can't wait to get a hold of mine. Molds look very clean and well thought out.
@Dmajorproductions You can remove the FSB by tapping out the 2 pins holding it in place on the barrel. Then, you heat the front sight area, then the bayonet lug. You tap the bayonet lug toward the end of the muzzle, removing it. Usually, this is hard as hell because the FSB is happy where it is and doesn't want to come off.

I love this stock!
Thanks Mr. Черник
Very well done. Thank you!
So the trigger linkage is a piece of wire coat hanger basically? possible deal breaker...
thats what all of them are if they aren't cable hell even on a Tavor it's just a thin wire

also, once you remove the sight, the leaf spring will fall out.....i would remove that so it doesnt come loose and rattle around inside your kit.
What are the recommended in/lbs. for the various screws? It looks like it would be easy to over-tighten and dislocate the brass bushings, but at the same time you don't want this thing rattling loose.

She's got nice hands and fingers..........
i noticed at 1:23 when you removed the trigger assembly, the trigger was already removed, how is this done? is it just the pin you placed later in the trigger up front?
hi just want to know if there really is a 6 month wait? thanks
@chezypuuf It's certainly not the holy grail of all things gunnery, but it's the holy grail of its price range. That's why it's so popular.
Still waiting on mine :( Hopefully only a couple more months, can't wait. Already have a foregrip and red dot sight picked out :) Just wondering......Anyone put one of these on a paratrooper sks yet???
thank you for the help

Is this stock legal in Canada, cuz I'd surely like to get my hands on one.....
Is front sight removal necessary? I have a front sight muzzle break and want to retain it.
+Guy Stablein Negatory. Go on google images, you'll see plenty that still have front sights on em.
Cassandra, I have a paratrooper model .will this conversion work for me?
Worked for me. You might need to do a little dremmeling on the barrel support.
i'm assuming you've already figured it out, but i'll answer this question for everybody else.
to remove the front sight assembly from the barrel, you'll need:
several blocks of wood, a hammer, a rubber mallet, a blowtorch, some wd40, a punch set, another punch set, scuba gear, two heavy duty trucks, some chains, heavy duty clamps, several nobel prize winners-- in the areas of physics, chemistry, and medicine, a priest, a rabbi, and a buddhist monk.

Haven't these guys heard of tool-less disassembly?
I think you can field strip it without a tool most bullpups are actually worse than this
does someone know if they ship the stock kit outside the US?
can someone please help me my trigger that came with kit fell off the metal rod and i cant figure out how it went back on
ooof. Did you ever figure it out?
are you from newmexico?
0:44 removing the rear sight..............ya thats not what I had my sights on
I just received a response back from SGWorks
As a Ret. sailor... I found this video very hard not to make sex jokes too....
This hole, that hole, put it in this hole, feel around until you feel the hole and so on.
Haha
For the record, I deleted my comment, I noticed that on a second viewing, while she didn't clear the rifle, there was a note saying to check it.
You skipped a couple very important steps. Like making sure the damn thing isn't loaded. And that the chamber is clear before bangin away on the trigger group.
The SKS has to be on safe before you take the trigger mechanism out also you don't need to bang on it just press the button and it pops off
the sight removal is a lie, that shit is tough
What if it has a grenade launcher and bayonet?
If you have a Yugo SKS like I just bought, apparently the dis-assembly process for removing the grenade launcher and front sight is a chore..after watching Savage1r's vid.. I'm just taking my gun to a gunsmith to have it stripped down..Prolly should have did more research before buying this conversion kit..
bill bailey I did the same. Just drop in my ass.
ohh man, imagine cleaning this stuff...
That's the only thing I didn't think of.... I was too busy hearing her say "put it in the hole" and trying not to laugh
Great - a black rifle filmed against a black background and a lady in a black dress. Also, poor lighting and plenty of dark shadows.

Can someone tell me HOW IN THE FUCK DO I REMOVE THE FRONT SIGHT ASSEMBLY FRONT THE BARREL.....
You put your underage daughter up there on the Internet and someone made a vulgar comment? Gee, never would've seen that coming ROLF.
Apparently a good rifle-designer does not a good father make.
$350 now
Whats her phone number
thats a Russian SKS, so he is WAY off. they are like $600 now if you find it with a cracked stock and horrid condition.
Another rifle to put me in debt..lol.
@glaros5
Imagine if a foreign army orders your kit in masses. You'll be soo rich.

How are you single? Got me and woman and GN Smithithing
Together . Good vid
Don't buy this! Not worth it. I put my SKS back into the Tapco stock
What was it like? Just curios
So I bought an older Yugo SKS from a guy at work for $250..Saw this Bull Pup Kit and bought it off a seller on Ebay, $325(NIB)... Probably gonna take my SKS to a gunsmith to have the grenade launcher and front site assy. removed..(I don't have access to a machine shop right now) maybe $100? I just wonder after all this if I could sell it for a decent profit.. Any one know what one of these completed guns go for?
I feel sorry for you they only cost 200 from the seller so finished you could look for maybe 500
