Fix my gun SKS side rail with Hush stock

Wondering if anyone has attempted to/successfully installed a combloc side rail (molot or similar) on their SKS in a Hush Holster stock? How much did the stock need to be filed down, if at all?

I'm a machinist. If you can help me source one of those, I'll make a small batch of reproduction parts.

For the actual mounting mechanism (dovetail) there are a few options available to reproduce from but for a mount that would allow AK optics to be mounted on an SKS in the hush stock you'd need to measure and fab from scratch to get the height and centering correct.

For example, here are two 'low' dovetail mounts that appear to have similar overall specs/geometry.

Ivan Tactical lists the mount, but will never restock it. I asked many years ago. The SKS-K high dovetail base is the one we need for best function on our rifles.

They do have the high dovetail in stock: https://ivantactical.com/shop/weapon-accessories/weapon-rails-and-tuning/side-mounts/est-sks-steel-high-dovetail-base/

yes, you'll need to get a low profile side mount with that. because if you use a standard ak mount it would be to high off your gun.
