I have never dealt with Centerfire Systems, but as a word of caution I would avoid the fiberforce stock. There are many problems with the fiberforce stocks. Here is a link that explains what they are.

I just put a choate stock on my CA legal SKS and it absolutely awesome.

The only experience I have had was buying ammo from them on couple of occasions, and it went well both times.

what about the monte carlo stock? the only con it lists on that site is a small handgrip.

where can i get the choate stock and how much.

because for 159 (fiberforce) and 139 (monte carlo) that includes gun and stock. which seems to be a good deal. as opposed to buying the SKS then a stock elsewhere.

The choate is going to be more expensive. I spent around $95 total for my choate stock shipped. I am sure the gun would shoot okay with either stock, but I did not want to take the entire stock off every time I clean my SKS. As for the monte carlo stock, I have no experience with that one.

Ok here is the low down on Fiberforce Vs. Choate stocks that fit SKS and AK rifles. The pic is of AK stocks but the design is the same for the SKS stocks. In the below pic note the distance from the top to the bottom of the thumbhole where it connects to the pistol grip. There is more room for your hand on the grip of the Choate than the Fiberforce. Unless you have really small hands you won't be able to get a good grip on the pistol grip. The cheek rest is higher on the Choate which allows your eye to line up with the scope mounts that allow you to use the open sights also. The cheek rest is a extra cost accessory and not needed unless you mount a scope. Both stocks without a cheek rest, the top of the Fiberforce stock is lower and will result in you having to rest your lower jaw on it to line up with the open sights. The Choate is higher and will allow a proper check rest to line your eye up with the open sights. The Choate stock weighs a little more as it made from a stronger/denser polymer.
