I looked online for how to remove the front sight/bayonet and the grenade launcher from my Yugo SKS. I was able to find videos and how-to with the grenade launcher,…Remove the pin, HEAT, and then use vice grip with paper towel and twist twist twist. Then the front sight block….remove the pin on bottom, heat, and then use hammer to pound it off the end. It will go over the threads and leave a section on the barrel where it was that is un-blued. This section (at least in ohio) can be cut and re threaded and still be legal length. I hope this help some of you, It took many days of looking online till I just decided to try to do it and it worked.

Thursday, April 26th, 2012April 26, 2012 Update – got my stock
I recieved my stock about 3 weeks ago.
I am not much of a do it yourself person so I took the rifle & new stock to RP’s firearms repair (972-853-0620). He said he has done about 40 of these so I felt comfortable leaving it with him.
He has his personal rifle to show & it looked good. It took about 3 weeks to get it back because he was backed up with work.
I started with a Yugo and he cut the grenade launcher/bayonet/front sight assembly off leaving the barrel @ 16.5 in. He threaded the end & put a flash hider on.
He fitted the stock and it is a very solid fit. I put a Lasermax Mini on the front of the rail and a BSA reflex at the rear(haven’t been to the range as I just got it back today).
I must say that I believe any commercially available bull pup style rifle from one of the big makers would cost at least $1,000 more than this set up.
I come from a manufacturing background ad it is obvious to me that a LOT of thought & planning went to the design and production of this stock.
I waited from Nov 2010 till a few weeks ago & it was well worth the wait.
Best of luck

May 8, 2012 Love the new stock
I am writing to tell you how pleased I am with the stock.
It was worth the wait!!!
I took it & my sks to rps firearms repair & in a few weeks I got it back with the barrel shortened, flash hider installed & duracote on the metal parts. It is a VERY solid fit.
I previously sent pics & hope to see them posted on your site.
One of my sons took it to an annual shooting event at a local ranch & it was the hit of the event.
I know that starting a business from scratch is a daunting experience but hang in there – it’s a great product.

Adam A. Sling Point 3-10-12
Sunday, March 11th, 2012Shernic Gun Works
Recieved the sling point on Thursday. Was hoping for something a bit more permanent, maybe something that attached to the trigger assembly cover or a new trigger assembly cover with a sling point built in. But, beggars can’t be choosers, and the piece does go on quickly and easily and served it’s purpose quite well. While at the range it stayed snug and secure. Was concerned about the sling point shifting around on the stock but didn’t move even just a bit. Also I was thinking it would get old having to remove the sling point everytime you need to pull off the cover for cleaning, but just undo a couple of loop n pile straps it’s outta the way. All in all very happy with the piece and especially the stock kit, been thoroughly enjoying mine for about 7 months now. Thanks much. Looking forward to see what else you guys come up with.

Best bullpup kit out there
Sunday, March 11th, 2012Whats up sg works? I have played with many bullpup kits out there, I just got a chance to play with one of the first kits you made and I have to tell you I fell in love. By far the best kit available! I just wanted to tell you what a great job you are doing and I have no issue waiting for such a well executed design. You were able to take the sks to a whole new level. It’s like a different gun all together. I am impressed to say the least. Just wanted to say thank you for dedication to quality. I look forward to seeing my very own. Keep up the good work. Made in the U.S.A. , makes me proud.

Monday, January 16th, 2012I received my stock a few weeks ago. It assembled easily and I took it to the RK gun and knife show in Kansas City this past weekend to get 20 round magazines and a single point sling. The reaction walking through the crowd was unreal. I hope you receive a lot more orders. I let anyone that asked try it for size and that usually led to a “Is it for sale?”. I even had offers from people manning the tables.

Friday, September 30th, 2011 I just received my kit in the mail and it was worth the wait. I had to file a little here and there and It definitely took a little bit of time for the first time assembly but once I took it to the range, wow is all I can say. This is a hole new animal. The accuracy is the same but having the weight in your shoulder makes this gun some much easier to carry and fire. I had a couple other SKS users at the range with multiple different after market stocks and they couldn’t believe how much better the gun felt and looked. I have tried 3 other stocks myself and they are all nothing compared to this.
Thank you for a great product at a great price.

Shipping Update 9-12-11
Monday, September 12th, 2011Here is a link to our last update: http://sgworks.com/update-8-23-11/
As was mentioned toward the end of our last post, we are very close to having everything in proper order regarding the proper funding for SGWorks. We had to slow down our shipping in order to pay for various fees and costs. This in turn caused us to fall short of our last posted shipping projection. We are still shipping, albeit slower than we were.
We hope before long to have all of the necessary information in order to post a revised shipping projection. At that point we will be able to catch up with our back orders as well as other projects.
We really appreciate you hanging in there with us very much.
