Shitpost / Memes POV: Finds number matching rare SKS in pristine condition.

If I keep the original stock aside, does it still count as Bubba'd?

That's sick as hell, especially with the PSO.

u/hockeyfanatic777 Jul 21 '26

I don’t hate it. Is that one of those black plastic stocks with a wicked paint job? Or custom wood? I need to know where it’s from!

u/Murray3-Dvideos Jul 21 '26

Custom Rosewood laminate stock.

u/hockeyfanatic777 Jul 21 '26

Where did you find this? I’d love to look into it

Richards Microfit stocks in the States sold me the Laminate blank (a giant brick shaped block of wood). Then I carved out the stock shape manually. Was a satisfying Summer project during Covid.

That’s awesome. My buddy has a backyard sawmill and I’ve floated the idea of getting him to cut me a chunk of wood that I can then carve into custom stocks for my SKS, and 10/22 but in northern Manitoba I’m uncertain of the type of tree, how to make sure it won’t warp, etc.

What did that brick cost you to buy/ship/import etc? If you don’t mind me asking

u/Murray3-Dvideos Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

I think it cost around 120cad, and shipping was like 80. Now i usually buy blanks from Lamnia in Scandinavia. They have free shipping once u buy a couple blanks. Laminate is 1000% the way to go. Solid wood has too many variables. The consistent lines in Laminate also aid greatly with carving symmetry.

Thats pretty tasteful, looks almost like an SVD Dragunov, I was thinking of getting the black synthetic one but this is much nicer! Where can one acquire this?

2

u/Mercrantos2 Jul 22 '26

Yeah I was thinking Dragunov as well. Sergei wouldn't mind it at all.

If your going to bubba this is the way to do it, a one of a kind piece.

Doesn’t count if it’s reversible. But modifying the bolt hold open and receiver for detachable mags or the mag adapter counts though lol

u/curry_fiend Jul 21 '26

Im tip toeing the fine line between Bubba and not lol

u/DrBadGuy1073 Jul 21 '26

What about drill & tap for scope mount?

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears Jul 21 '26

My understanding is that any permanent modification of a firearm with collectible or historical value is considered bubbafication haha

u/1anre Jul 22 '26

Bubba is not the end of the world

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears Jul 22 '26

Agreed - I’m pro bubba as long as it’s a shooter not a collector

If you can undo your sin within a half hour then it was never a sin to begin with.

u/curry_fiend Jul 21 '26

OK so im a Diet Bubba

u/AcanthisittaNo7338 Jul 21 '26

Oh no, not an easily changed ergonomic plastic stock!

u/The_guy_mp Jul 21 '26

Who cares as long as it goes bang.

u/curry_fiend Jul 21 '26

Damn straight

u/WeightedDips95 Jul 21 '26

I want one of them tapco stocks tbqhhh

13

u/curry_fiend Jul 21 '26

Top is Russian Tapco, Bottom is Chinese Archangel

I honestly think they're not half bad if you're not a fan of the classic wood. Im a Diet Bubba so I like having the original safely tucked away.

6

u/WeightedDips95 Jul 21 '26

Nice. Tad nit picky but I’m not a fan of how the archangel stocks look. For me it just the argos on the wood stock make it uncomfortable to shoot, the length of pull is way too short 

2

u/DrBadGuy1073 Jul 21 '26

They are a classic commercial product, good or not it is something you'll encounter in the wild for decades to come.

u/Vahuo89 Jul 21 '26

Bubba away bub.

Let that cutting wheel fly!

2

u/yummybunnybear Jul 21 '26

Yes, it's still considered as Bubba'ed (action) because bubba-ing is an action. But a reversible Bubba is ontologically still pure.

2

u/CenturionV Jul 22 '26

Choate. Lighter, tighter, cheap and quick to install. Downside is they aren't particularly tactical or add any attachment mounting options. They are basically what an sks stock would be from the factory if the sks was released today.

u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 Jul 22 '26

I just super bubbaed my French Tickler with a Crooked Customs Phantom SKS chassis, and part of me sort of regrets it.

It's 99% reversible, although I drilled the handguard pin hole too big, but in the future it's probably repairable with a larger pin or some welding.

I posted a short review on the Crooked Customs' Phantom Chassis here:

No photos yet, I'm still working out a few last pieces.

u/Sillyak Jul 21 '26

I have a Tapco'd Chicom SKS I took a Dremel too for mag changes on a closed bolt and I cut off the bayonet lug. You may call me Bubba.

u/HappyCan7250 Jul 24 '26

As long as its not ATI. Those stocks are garbage. Took mine off and swapped back to wood (bought it in the ATI). I still have a rail ane 5/20rd mag on it for a semi tacticool look, and much prefer it to the ATI stock.

Tapco actually makes some nice laminated wood SKS stocks too (under the brand Timbersmith or something), that actually look fantastic. Im considering getting one if I ever want to swap again
