The original stock on this rifle had been the victim of at least a couple crude attempts at refinishing and was beyond repair. I considered a polymer stock but decided to make my own instead. Originally it was going to be walnut, because I know I have a chunk of it around here somewhere, but I ran across this piece of mahogany while looking and decided to use it. I made a couple small changes to the stock, the main one being that while I am going to use the original butt plate I moved it back about 1 1/2".
A while back I shortened the barrel on another SKS, kind of a homemade paratrooper, might do that to this one too.
