I mean, its really as good as a bubba will get. The new phantom chassis is nice as well, but $700 is crazy vs the $240 archangel

There is a company that's making what is essentially an AR lower for the SKS. Pearce armory. Last I talked to them they said sometime over the summer. Full AR lower internals. It does require some permanent modification to reciver to do. But looks sweet. Unfortunately the chassis is apparently gonna be 1500usd for the early ones so that puts me out.

Not that price. I'm not paying 700 Canadian for a chassis that doesn't make the gun nicisarily better. The pearce one does but I'm not pay what will amount to 2k.

I got my makasi ordered I'll pay the piper for that.

tbh im not even tempted to pay for one of those.

desperate times do not have to mean desperate measures haha but I genuinely hope you do get to enjoy it.

It's only money. And as someone who only got into firearms last year I've already missed out on some many things. So I'm not gonna miss out on the makasi.

Was this recently? Seems like the Pearce chassis stuff just kind of died off

Yes. I talked to them over winter and he said they were done forever and then more recently they hangered their mind and he was saying they were going to have a small batch of prototype aluminum chassis machined for sale to gauge interest.
