I'm a first time Bubbasmith and I've only been a gun owner for the last year or two and even I did a nicer job (IMO) at Bubbaing my Yugo that the linked pic. And that's with the wrong tools and a "hack it and see" method of learning.
Buy the Saiga or a nice -stock- SKS. I bought my SKS, loved it but found a few things that didn't work for me (hence the mods). I still love it, but my scoped rifle is going to be a Saiga.
Where can you get a stock SKS you ask? Well, either find one for sale in your area and do a FTF, or try one of the many excellent online dealers and get it transferred at your local FFL.
I ordered one from Centrefire and it was a peach (I wasn't able to collect it at the time due to an immigration papers snafu). Not the cheapest place to get one, but I found them amazingly helpful (they refunded all my money bar shipping on a no fault return LONG after the usual inspection period) and my orders since then have been flawless.

I also hear good things about Classicarms, but I haven't done much business with them myself on the few small things I have ordered.

I love my SKS, but if you're tall or have long arms, it's probably going to be a llittle short in the rump and if you're as blind as I am you'll find the (decent) sights need switching out.
I happen to be a fool for Tacticool, so I did a lot more switching than that, but it's still an SKS in my book
