Bubba'd (but nice!) grip angle modification

[johnonymous]

I couldn't comfortably hold my SKS, so I wanted to make my grip angle more vertical. Some people have suggested building it up with Bondo or similar, but I didn't want to make permanent modifications. So, voila. I used silicone self-fusing tape as an underlying barrier between the wood and some Apoxie Sculpt, which I used to build up the grip angle. Then, I wrapped it in an additional layer of silicone tape for aesthetics, and to reduce the risk it's ripped off. Silicone tape is non-adhesive, it bonds to itself and holds via friction, so if it is ripped off, or if I get tired of it, 10 seconds with knife and it's off with no change to the underlying stock. It points much more naturally now, with no wrist contortions or chicken-winging needed, and as bonuses the tape is quite grippy, and the Apoxie Sculpt has minor embedded finger grooves. Very pleased at how this turned out.

Whatever works for you.

Those above me were too nice. That is some down right hideous **** right there. That has probably been the worst Bubba I've seen ever. Your pictures have been burned into my eyes like a fiery hell. Luckily you can reverse that atrocity. They do make aftermarket stocks for the sks if the grip angle isn't to your pleasing. But hey, your rifle your choice.

Well that's the first SKS I've ever seen, or firearm at all for that matter, which appears to have cancer.

Or maybe it's like... one of those boob jobs that went wrong 15 years ago, and they couldn't find someone willing to pay to fix it?

Gonna do your glock next?






I couldn't resist!

Reminds me of a modification to the Springfield trapdoor carbine that was introduced in the 1890's IIRC. They added a bolt-on metal piece just like that to the standard M1884 stocks.

Aside from looking like your rifle needs its diaper changed, did you just create a pistol grip?

[Maulerrr]

It ain't pretty, but as long as it gets the job done!

Boyle Heights grip. We see that a lot.

[daybreak]

nice as in kind to people ?

[Capybara]

Wow. No offense but that is hideously bad looking. Your rifle and if that's what works for you, rock on but the SKS is actually a nice looking rifle and your mod is painful to look at. At least it's reversible. Also questionable as to whether or not that does turn it into a pistol grip perhaps?

Duck tape on rifle/shotgun for modifications makes you look like a gang banger.
See their sawed off shotguns with duck tape alllll the time
