your buddies, its a two man job to handle something this tacticool
I agree to an extent. I have tapco'd a couple of SKSs...one because it was purchased with a plastic stock and I figured I'd just play around with tac'ing one out. The other had a busted stock..so I tapco'd it. Hated them both and sold/traded them. To be honest, I don't much care for SKS's anyway they come...much prefer the AK platform.
Mosins are roughly a dime a dozen. They are ugly and not very user friendly (ergonomic nightmare)...still, generally, I wouldn't mess with one. Of all the Mosins, I consider the M44 the only style worth having. I did however run across this little nugget not too long ago. While I find most sporterized war rifles vulgar / repulsive...I freaking LOVE this Mosin and wouldn't trade it for a fresh crate of M44s. Besides everything was professionally fit and finished, cut crowned and properly tapped for iron sights (no scope), it was also glass bedded and floated. This is the sweetest shooting Mosin I've ever had.

Your opinion..
. They're cheap,ubiquitous,commie guns,meant for spraying lots of cheap lead...so who cares? If I own it,and want to mod. it to better suit my tastes...who gives a sh-- what others think? I sure don't. Now,if/when you go to re-sell it..that's when you'll pay for modding it,just like classic cars,etc. Thanks for reminding me,when I get home today..I'm going to Krylon my SKS to hide where the bluing is worn/chipped & the Choate stock is scuffed up,not to mention me cutting all that useless bayonet lug **** off+recrowning the barrel!

Amen, brother!

Purdy!!!!!
Some guns are collectible c&r's, many are relics. Every time an ska gets bubbafied, the others increase in value.

Now if you're gonna do it, that's how you do it. Looks very clean, great fitment, WOOD, and it looks like it could've been a factory gun.
Yeah - the other trillion or so out there are rising like the price of gas!
Seriously - these guns are a dime a dozen. Cut 'em, chop em, anything you want - there are plenty to go around.
Yea I have met him once or twice
I didn't have any trouble moving my 2 tapco SKSs for 500+ bucks in trade value. There is a market for them. Tapco a nice Russian though and there will be a public flogging.
