It looks like a Chinese SKS, it that true? I'm not much into scopes on SKS's, but I have been made a believer on the TAPCO stock. I thought they were a gimmick until I tried one,it felt good! Bought the rfile with the stock. It was also Chinese but it was an older Chinese SKS with the machined bolt and the screw in barrel, and the bore was excellent. It also shot quite well. I also have a bunck of SKS's and have no problem with modifying them. The only one I haven't bothered with is a very nice Russian. I also got a Chinese D model, that someone had done a hatchet job on the magwell in order to make a drum fit. I worked on it and made it look halfway decent, but it's still rough, but who cares? I got it for around $200. The rifle hadn't been cleaned, the gas system was stuck, but with a good cleaning, it lturned out to be in good condition.
