SKS Butt Pad

Post by Varmit1 »

Does anyone know where I can get a butt pad for a original wood stock that actually fits an SKS stock?

I put this one on which I'm sure everyone is familiar with, but it just looks lame being too small. I think it's something us SKS guys would buy if someone would market one that fits right.

The only benefit I see with a buttpad is to extend the buttstock for a longer length of pull.

At 6' 3" I bought this one for just that purpose as my nose was almost against the receiver.

That wood stock with its weight makes what little recoil the SK has next to nothing.

It's the same problem with my M91/30 stock but there's a couple for that that fit well.

Those guys sure must have had short arms?

I just like things to fit together right, I suppose.

Pick up a Yugo M59/66 butt pad. Screws right on over the existing buttplate, or in place of the buttplate. It will add about an inch to LOP, to 13.5" overall.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....
