I had that stock and those mags on mine when I sold it....I wish I had a few plain jane stock rifles with stripper clips again. Best way to run an SKS.

Not to get too far OT here, but I've got 2 SKSs, (one a paratrooper 16" barrel), and have the Tapco tactical stock on both; I did the bolt mod on both to allow for drop-free duck-bill mag changes with the bolt closed. I happen to like the Tapco tactical stock and 20 round duck-bill mags on my SKS, and do think it is an upgrade. But I think most SKS fans/purest prefer the original wood stock, 10 round mag and stripper clips, and hate anything Tapco on an SKS. To each their own, I suppose.
Not to ramble on, but I have the SKS in the pic up for sale locally. A guy offered me $300 and I declined. I can sell the individual parts on eBay for more than that, minus the barreled receiver. I agree that it is probably best to leave the SKS bone stock. But where's the fun in that... :-) My SKSs have never had a jam or misfire with the 20 round Tapco mags.
Now back to AK mag release options; or is it best to leave it stock? :-)
This one is from Carolina Shooter's supply.
