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.

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.

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012My stock came in the mail today and I started putting it together around 5:00 and finished around 7:00. The kit went together very well with me being the only real hindrance, I’m pretty particular so I went slow and checked everything several times and I only had to sand two places, the bottom of the stock where it meets the trigger guard in the rear as it was slightly too thick and a light shave on the wood spacer on the upper hand guard. I had to change the spacer shim for the barrel band and that was it. Very very well thought out design, trigger adjustment is easy and straight forward. The balance is better than I thought possible, very nice. I can’t wait for the tri rail bracket and extended mag release to show up so I can finish the rifle off.
If I can make a suggestion a rear sling mount would be a nice addition but Its not a big deal. A year and half wait was worth it, thank you. If you have any plans for making a stock for a 10/22 I’ll buy one… Thanks again!

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012After almost a year and a half I have in my hands what I have been so eagerly awaiting! I have not fired it yet, but it went together great! I had to file a bit here and there, and I highly recommend a Dremel tool for making clean work of some of the adjustments. The quality of the plastic used is very good, and it is even more clear to me now just how much work went into this project. Thank you for persevering against the neigh-sayers and thank you even more for such a nice product! Especially as your first offering. I will be placing a second order shortly! I look forward to your next offering and I can say that I would pay up front and wait a year and a half again!
Thanks Again,

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011While I waited for the stock, I got a beautiful trigger job (no creep at all – smoooooth), and replaced the firing pin with a stainless steel spring-loaded pin. I plan to add a 30mm TruGlo, remove the architecture on the barrel and swap flash hiders this weekend, then it’s off to the range!
Oh, this former full-size Yugoslavian is now 3 1/2 inches shorter than my Ruger Mini-14!
Let me know when orders are caught up … this needs a twin.

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.
