Maks is probably the man to talk to about that. Ask him what company it was with the SKS stocks.

Check out this one.

Thanks.

 

Yep, found some chinese original stocks for $14 from a milsurp dealer, picked up a few bayonets as well as mine didn't come with them. They were only $7 each.

Yeah, these wood/laminate ones were $150 msrp.

I had a chance to shoot lunker's PTR-32 and this thing is a really finely made firearm. The trigger was way better than your typical AK I was most impressed with the front handguard. Its a precision milled hunk of metal with a really nice finish applied--an unusual addition for a battle style gun.

Chris, I know your listening bro. I want that rifle! Trade?

TimberSmith

 

that was the dealer.

And it appears they make south paw stocks for all our wrong-handed comrades.

Sweet, thanks for the link. Their AK stock sets look great, they keep the true military style. I'm really considering replacing my plastic furniture on my "AK style" variant.

 

The SKS stocks look amazing, but alas, they seem a bit too fancified for me. Even the most basic one with the monte carlo to me is getting away from the classic original military look. I would much prefer the shape of the original, perhaps with the rear slightly over-sized as the Chinese stocks are tiny.

 

I'll email them to see if they take custom requests such as that.

I agree. Somehow a tactical and/or fancy SKS just doesn't look right. They should look used, if not a bit abused. It makes me think of the Swiss K31's, how their butt stocks are almost universally banged up looking from soldiers using them to knock snow off their boots when they come indoors.

Here is a video from the SHOT Show on TimberSmiths stocks for AK and SKS.

Big thumbs up for the AK.

 

I still think the SKS is too eloquent for the SKS. I'd put a stock like that on something that would warrant it. I want utilitarian for the SKS.

 

Thanks for the vid!

Oh yeah, and a new Colt Series 70 Repro. I was torn between it and the 1918 repro. I went for the Series 70 (i.e. no firing pin safety) because the hammer bite is nasty on the 1918 even though it is a sweet 1911. See, all those gun sales go towards something. I'm not made of money you know.

Sorry about the pics. They were taken on my phone.

 

Back to .45 auto i see.

You knew it was only a matter of time.

I was about to ask you if that comes in 10mm...

Really like that PTR-32

 

Congrats on the new additions

Colt makes the Delta Elite in 10mm. But it's only in stainless

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that commander and standard length 1911's are not built to withstand real 10mm loads. They can handle the warmed over 40S&W stuff sold in stores, but a diet of NORMA ammo will eventually rattle them apart. There are plenty of people who would disagree with em on this one, but I have owned them and that is how I feel. YMMV

Longslide 1911s (full frame, 6" slide) may be a different story. I have never shot one. It's a good thing too, because they are expensive!
