The grip and forend are checkered to increase purchase, and the stock itself is coated, weather-proof, and scratch-proof. It includes a recoil-reducing butt pad and has the traditional Monte Carlo elevated cheek rest.
ATI SKS Monte Carlo StockĪ fixed Monte Carlo stock made of high-strength polymer. Comes with a recoil pad (a tad thin, but gets the job done), pistol grip, and Picatinny rail.
It doesn’t snag, it requires only a bit of tampering (with some models), and it allows the shooter to operate the firearm from the closed/folded position.

But, if you want to replace it, there are all kinds of options. Some of them are better than many modern stocks, too, in look and feel. The original wooden stock is fine to use, especially if those kinds of stocks are something that you are used to. Because of this, a good stock is certainly something which you will want to invest in. Unlike a handgun, a rifle uses the shooter’s shoulder for absorbing energy, managing recoil, and basically helping to keep those follow-up shots from dispersing. You’d argue that the added benefit and value outweigh the possible disadvantages, additional weight, bulkiness, etc. The question is ‘are they necessary’? In some cases, you’d say yes. Accessories are a part of any rifle, really. There are times, however, where you feel that there is room for improvement. Mikhail Kalashnikov’s AK-47 was designed to fit that specific cartridge.Īction: gas piston, semi-automatic (internal 10-round magazine)Ī well-built rifle is already a great thing, right out of the box. The 7.62mm ( also known as 7.62 Soviet) cartridges, which were designed at the same time as the SKS rifle itself, were later used in other weapons. It has many variants (several of which will be brought up later in this post), but basically it loads by using 10-round clips which feed the mag. The SKS is a self-loading carbine, with an internal 10-round magazine. About 15,000,000 units of the SKS-45 were built during the time. Even though it was later phased out in favor of the well-known (and all-around beloved) AK-47, it has a name which commands a certain respect.
It was designed in 1944 and put into service in 1945.
The full designation of the SKS rifle is “Samozaryadny Karabin sistemy Simonova, 1945”. The SKS rifle is still being used today, mainly in ceremonies and such, but at times it still sees military action. Its origins are Soviet, and it was designed by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov, who was one of the USSR’s chief weapons designers and who is considered by many to be one of the creators of the modern combat rifle. The SKS (officially designated SKS-45) rifle has been used for over 70 years now.
