I'm strapped for cash, but still want a rugged, reliable, afforable rifle with abundant parts and accessories and inexpensive ammunition. The answer? Why, the SKS of course.

I'd like to get an SKS with a detachable 30 round mag modification, a blade bayonet, and a synthetic stock with a longer trigger pull than the standard wooden one. Anyone know of which stocks will accept both the detachable 30 round (or maybe even the big drum magazine) and the blade bayonet?
 
There are many after market stock to chose from for the SKS.

Your first quest should be actually getting a good condition SKS, if you can find one get a Russian, they are a step above all the rest.

I took my stock Russian SKS and just removed the standard fixed 10 rnd mag and popped in an after market USA 30 rounder, the whole convertion took about three minutes total, e-mail me if you want more detail on removing the fixed mag.

You will not find a better rifle in its category for the money IMHO, they are tough and reliable and if you take care of them they will out last you in the end.

As far as what stocks accept what, I recomend you take a look at the following link, its a board just for the SKS and their is tons of info along with user pics of their rifles and whatever mods they may have done to it.

Dont think their is a question that cant be answered there.

Okay. This is what I have learned about SKS stocks. I have Advanced Technology stocks on my rifles and I have been pleased with these so far. If you plan to use open sights then buy the Dragunov style stock. The Monte Carlo stock cheek rest is too high to enable you to use the iron sights but will work well if you plan to scope your rifle. The Dragunov stock seems to be the best all around stock and it has a comfortable feel to it.
 
The very best "standard" configuration stock for the SKS is the Choate stock.
