stock too short
Chinese sks stock is too short, it has me hunched over too much. Is there some way to lengthen it (please don't tell me to get a wood stretcher)

Re: stock too short
It throws the look off but I'm sure you've thought about the limb saver rubber butt pad sleeves. They add at least an inch if my memory serves correct.

Re: stock too short
If you need more length than a recoil pad alone provides, you can add spacers under the recoil pad. https://www.brownells.com/rifle-part...-prod9650.aspx

Trade or sell it and get a Yugo SKS! The "pad" on the Yugo SKS is about 3/4(?) thicker.

Re: stock too short
fill a bucket with warm water and let the backend of the stock soak over night.
should swell up about an inch....it's only metal, we can out think it....

Re: stock too short
+1 on the thick recoil pad.
There's also the aftermarket stock option-- but they often require some handi-work to get a proper fit.
You could also get a bipod and shoot prone or from a bench.

+2 on the limbsaver. Cheap, fast , easy and effective.

Re: stock too short
Give us more info on your Chinese SKS. Premium examples go for big $$ today so don't butcher it up, your mod needs to be reversible.
Get a thick shoulder pad or look into getting one of those crappy aftermarket "tactical" stocks
