Reviews & Ratings for ATI Outdoors Strikeforce SKS Folding Rifle Stock w/ Gen 2 Tactlite — 19 reviews — Page 1

I thought it would be a simple installation but I ran into a few issues. The gas tube handguard would not fit properly so I had to sand it down. I also use a detachable mag and it would not work until I sanded the mag well far enough for it to fit. With that being said, it is overall a great, very light weight, and ergonomic stock.

The stock is made great. The finish and function are also second to none. However the fit when completely assembled is very poor. The butt end where you remove the bolt group cover doesn't stay seated. Mine moves vertical about .25 of an inch when you barely push down on the barrel. The bolt that crosses completely thru the original stock infront of the mag cover is non existent in this stock. Therefore there is no rear applied force to hold the complete barrel assembly in the stock like original stock.

As others have stated its a tight fit but after a few brake downs it got alot easier . Now my issues with this stock is that the pistol grip is slightly off color and the stock is for the fixed mag model. I have a removable mag and had to do some trimming on the stock to make the mag clear and easy to remove. It wasn't too crazy easy enough just take your time i used a dremel with a carbide bit then some fine sand paper to smooth it out.

I was afraid when I got this stock that it would not fit and I would have to do some work to it. I was wrong it fit perfectly no modifications at all and i love the look of my gun.

I was fully expecting to have to some sanding or filling of the stock for proper fit. To my surprise, my Chinese SKS slid right in. The picatiny rails are a big reason I purchased this model. I have already attached a vertical fore grip and have plans to attach a tactical light. I am about 5’10” and with the stock set at its shortest position, it is just shy of being too long. The folding stock is easy to operate. My only concern is that I wished the pistol grip had a more secure attachment. Overall I am happy with the purchase.

My in depth-review of this product will cover a few key design features as well as my overall opinion of the furniture.

-Light-Weight
This furniture is pretty light and easy to handle. That being said, depending on the length of the barrel of your SKS, the final result could possibly make your build slighty front heavy. I have a yugo that came with the grenadier 16' barrel, so mine ended up being slightly front heavy, which isnt too big of an issue in my eyes.

-Ergonomics
This furniture is generally low profile, with plenty of space to mount optics, lasers, lights, grips ect. The upper handguard it comes with is pretty good, and fits into the build pretty well with minimal workage of the furniture material. The stock folds to the left and doesnt pinch fingers while doing so, nor is the latch too dificult to work quickly.

-Possible need to manipulate the furniture
The SKS is a well renowned rifle, produced in many different places over a long period of time in history. That being said, theres a good chance your SKS will differ from others. This may result in you having to remove material from the furniture in order to get various parts to seat correctly, such as the gas tube and piston and which ever SKS magazine you decide to use.

If you are inexperienced with gunsmithing and making minor adjustments to parts and furniture, have a professional seat the parts for you as to not risk damaging your new furniture unnecessarily.

My only wish was that there was less plastic, the pistol grip is held in with one screw and it already stripped.

Most other reviews talk about shaving away at the plastic to make it easier to mount their rifles. All imma say is for the magwell yes, but all it takes is some slight stretching and a nice rubber mallet it feels really snug and secure but after a 10-12 breakdowns it is a breeze.

I was very pleased with this purchase. It was just what I was looking for and it was very easy to install. I would recommend this product for the value and quality of product and the ease of installation

Nice stock but did have to carve the trigger area quite a bit to make a 1958 sks rifle fit and the fold up stock is secure in the extended position but is a little loose when folded,the end product looks good �
