Thx, really like archangel stocks. Had a bad memory of FAB.

Bad memory of a fab defence stock compared to an archangel?

Sorry I will have to disagree with that. Fab defence is the best polymer stock option for SKS. I’d even argue the best stock option in general compared to TNA or Hush.

Tbh, folding stock, pic rails, tacticool looking are fancy but I really prefer a solid one.

That means u r lucky, they are lack of qc. I got 2, the first one has a loosen hand guard screw socket. The screw on the second just stuck and did not work.

Btw on their package, they even spelled Chinese type 65, should be type 56 right?

No regrets tho. Since the government is trying to steel them.

What's the weight of it now?

u/No-Principle-433 Jun 12 '26

With 5 rounds in it, lock and mag is 9.5lbs, a little bit more than original sks but ergo improved a lot.

They won't under Carney. He wants to be a 3-4 term PM.

Bruh you put an sks into stock. This is not a "build"

u/No-Principle-433 Jun 12 '26

I’ll call it a build. Got it with an ati stock on it and tried to change a fab stock, Fab had a bad qc and didn’t work. Then got this one, did really a lot of fitting to put it on.

if the gun’s identity is still mostly defined by the factory firearm, it’s a customization; if your parts choices define what the gun became, it’s a build.

That said, congrats on a nicely customized gun.

Got it, Thx. Thought they are the same.
