Your site is kinda hard to read and navigate, but we are interested in the SKS. The new look is fresh and neat. What about wholesale purchases. We are FFLs and have sold SKS and stock upgrades in the past and these look interesting.
Bob Thompson, Owner/FFL
Our site is still a work in progress. We are working to address several issues that it has. We will contact you via email.
It is truly a good looking piece. I do have one question, Will it work with the Chineese arsenal Mod Paratrooper Carbine version of the SKS?
Thank You,
Michael

Yes, it will fit, but check your state laws to see what the legal minimum required length is. In the state of CA it would not be legal. If you install a compensator or flash suppressor to the barrel that would extend the overall length of the rifle to at least 30″.
Good luck with the business. I’m interested to learn more about your product.
Jerome, we keep on updating our website with information . If you still don’t have your questions answered you can contact us through our contact page. Thanks.
So what is the price. Am interested.
@John kiever, Our price for the Bullpup Stock Kit is posted on the Introductory Offer page. The link is on our Home page. The retail price is $159.95. The Introductory Offer price is $119.96 from now until August 5, 2009.
Contact me I have some questions and cannot find your email address
@Alex, If you can’t find answers to your questions on our site, contact us through our contact page.
About 20 years ago, I payed in advance for a Bullpup SKS stock to a company with a similar name and product. That company over many months would up date costomers on there manufacturing progress. Ultimately, no stock was ever sent or money returned. I would still love a bullpup SKS stock, you can understand my hesitation.
@Victor Fedij, We are sorry this happened to you and understand your hesitation. Please contact us through our contact page if we can answer any questions not found on the website. Hopefully, over time we will earn your trust.
Like what I see. My son in law just gave me an SKS with a hand made stock he produced himself with an air brushed finish on it. He sent me this site and said this would be one of his upcoming projects. I agree, now looks like I have to find another SKS and work with him to do the conversion. Good luck on your adventure and I hope you succeed to your fullest expectations. Also like your comments on the 2A. Best regards, David
@David, It sounds like you two can do the conversion in 15 minutes or less. There are no modifications necessary to your rifle, it’s very easy. There will be instruction provided with the kit as well as on the website.
This page sucks. White on white lettering?? Required info for comments in Green on green. Give me a break. I had to highlight them to read them.
I like the looks of your stock. However, you need pricing before requiring a click on buy now.
Video is nice, but before I would buy I want to see some good quality closeup pictures so I can actually see how the stock works, and how it fits on the SKS.
Installation instructions with pictures would tell the buyer a lot.
Stephen Erwin
@Stephen Erwin, Thank you for your comments. Our webmaster has corrected those deficiencies. Pricing is now posted as well, sorry for the delay. In a couple of weeks we are supposed to have our final prototype of our stock. We will then load close-up shots of assembly.
Is your stock compatible with removable aftermarket stocks?
@Stephen Erwin, If you mean removing your aftermarket stock and then installing ours, yes.
this stock looks great in all but u don’t show how it goes together to show all what you do to your sks
@sksguy101, We should have our assembly shots and a gallery close up pictures in about 2 weeks.
I Have a norinco sporter that uses ak mags. Will this stock work work with ak mags.
@Kevin Hogan, Yes, it will.
Yes it will!
Very nice design, from what I can see on this site
Would be nice if you posted some more detailed photos of your kit.
What is the construction?
Are the any options or accessories offered with the kit?
Will any aftermarket magazine work with your stock?
How comprehensive is your manufacturers waranty?
Has your product been reviewed by anyone in the trade?
@CASpice, Pics will be posted w/i a couple of weeks options and accessories are in the works. Tapco 20 round mags work great. Regarding our warranty, click on Terms of Service and the bottom our web page. The stock hasn’t been reviewed yet. We will keep you posted.
I like the stock,but was wanting to know if the stock will work with detachable high capacity magazines.
Thanks
@Brian, We have tested Tapco 20 round mags and they work great. If you have a sporter that uses AK mags, they will work also.
Impressive most impressive, now my russian sks will join the Darkside of the firearms!
@willie gibbs, May the force be with you!
Will this stock work with SKS that us the AK mags? Sorry if it is a redundant question. Having a bit of difficulty with this RSS stuff.
@Mike Learn, Yes it does.
You are possibly missing a large market by not replying to and updating Galahad. There would be huge interest in this stock at sksboards. The feeling on the boards right now is that this is a scam do to lack of communication, payment through Paypal, and payment required up front.
I participated in teh prepurchase and wait for the Saiga 12 20 round drum so I understand being busy and having difficulty getting suppliers to meet deadlines. However the developer kept in contact with the Saiga 12 board and most pre paying patrons were happy to wait.
Good Luck
@jaymac, we have already made contact with Galahad. We will be continually striving to gain your trust. Thank you for your interest.
Your introductory price is very tempting, but why is shipping date still three months away? If there are insufficient preliminary orders will you still produce the product? I would like to save the $40, but have some trapidation about ordering an unfinished product!
Shipping is to begin the end of September. To answer your second question, absolutely, yes. We are making an attempt to self-fund this project. If that doesn’t work out we will turn to our investors, however, we would prefer to be in charge of the future direction of our company. Our vision is to provide affordable products that work. We want them to be accessible to the producer class, the backbone of America.
Great job of Updating site and improving readability. Looking forward to pics.
I do love the vid but i was wondering how the accuracy/grouping is affected. I know it’s a bit of work, but if you can post a vid showing the firing results it’d def help me to decide to invest in your product.
We have that on our ‘To Do’ list. Keep checking back with us.
Hey, looks like you have a great product. Think I’m gonna get me one. Have you guys thought of making one for the mini 14 or 30?? Think it would be a great seller also. Thanks, Keep the good work.
@jaymac, You are absolutely right. Thank you for your input
Called earlier today before you opened. Got a call from Nick to ask if I had any questions. I did not leave a message or call back number. I thought it was great that a company would take such an interest in potential customer. Hope that is the level of service that they will provide as they grow. Good Luck!!
also it would probably not be a terrible idea to add some sling attachments
We are working on that issue.
Suggestions:
- Reshoot your vid to show more features. i.e. Safety manipulation, with different config mags, etc. A technical overview is going to do a lot more to sell this than the action vid you have up. For an example check out the RFB vid from the SHOT show a few years ago.
We are still waiting on our final prototypes that are a week 1/2 away. We will do the close up pics, an assembly video as well as a video along the same lines as you mentioned.
your video is impressive but I must ask, at the risk of sounding redundant and the fact that the demo does not illustrate this…. will it accept hi capacity magazines? and rather than use stripper clips, can one just drop and replace with a fresh mag? Perhaps those of us concerned with this issue would appreciate a video demo illustrating the bullpups’ use with mags only without stripper clips.
Yes, our stock works with SKS’s that take AK mags and definitely Tapco 20 round detachable mags. I would assume it would work with the old 30 round steel SKS mags, but living on the ‘left coast’, it is difficult for us to acquire those. We have plans to make an AZ video using detachable mags in the near future.
SKSboards is the consummate site for those interested in the SKS. TAPCO understood this as they worked on their 20 round mag and their bolt. As mentioned by others, you would be well served including that site in communication and product reviews.
An SKS bullpup has been the “Holy Grail” of the SKS community. Several attempts have been unsuccessful and pricey. None successfully addressed loading via a stripper clip. The popularity of the SKS is largely due to its low cost; often making it the entry-level weapon of “The Black Rifle Disease”. Your product would feed the fever.
Best of luck on this endeavor. Though I will not participate in the pre-funding, I await the outcome and reviews. If positive… I will have one!
You are absolutely right. In fact, the SKS Boards were a major inspiration for this project. Thanks for the encouragement.
this looks extremely promising, and awesome!
a few questions though,
i own the shorter barreled norinco, will i have to remove the spike bayonet?
can you still use the iorn sights?
thanks in advance
Our stock is not compatible with bayonets. While you do not have to take your sights off in order to install our bullpup kit, the sights are too low to use in the bullpup config.
i have a ca legal yugo with a muzzle brake tack welded where the grenade launcher was, i see in your video a clean barrel, do these have to be removed and is it legal to modify this rifle in its present state, any info, i dont need any batf headaches
Our stock kit was designed so that no modification needs to be done to your SKS in order to install the bullpup stock kit. Regarding the legality of modifying your SKS, my understanding is, if you do anything to modify your SKS you have to go all the way and make sure that contains no more than [10] foreign regulated parts. See our compliancy page and click on the ATF letter link.
@Ray Hunt, Thanks for your encouragement. As of right now we don’t have any plans to make a bullpup stock for the mini14 or 30. If we find there is a big enough demand, then we would consider it.
just one other question, what is the length of pull?
@irate, The length of pull from the trigger to the buttstock is 16 5/8″.
You need to make a vented forestock to go over the barrel. Dixie Consolidated did this for their 10/22 bullpup kit and it is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The Dixie Consolidated does look nice, but their bulpup clamps onto the barrel in two spots. We purposely designed our stock the way we did so that the stock doesn’t touch or clamp onto the barrel in any way as we didn’t want to interfere with the harmonics that are created as the bullet goes down the barrel. As I understand it, when the stock touches or clamps on the barrel, it degrades the inherent accuracy of barrel. Our stock mounts to the barreled action of the SKS in the same way that the original stock mounted. Additionally, we felt if we extended the forearm any further, we would cover up a perfectly good and effective sling point already built on the SKS.
@glaros,
A longer forearm option would aid those of us who have touched a hot barrel while in use. I searched for a Galil forearm for my UltiMak AK rail for that reason.
I am encouraged that there has begun more than a dialogue with SKSboards. I am curious about your take on the FCG and linkage… and length of pull.
I watched as AGP was abused prior the the successful release of their Saiga 12 mag. It was labeled “vaporware” until its debut silenced the herd.
You may have had your finger on the pulse of SKS fans more than is known and recognized.
Now all is needed is an AK mag mod… or one that would take C-Products 7.62×39 AR mags (then the bolt-hold-open would work in a drop free mag).
buckmeister
@buckmeister, Our conversion kit does nothing to alter your FCG. Our method of manipulating your stock trigger will virtually duplicate the the pull and distance of your present FCG trigger.
If by ‘the length of pull’ you mean the distance from the butt of the gun to the trigger, it is 16 5/8″.
You can find booklets about AK mag mods at gun shows. In fact, I performed that mod on one of my Yugos. It worked great. Regarding your comments on you mag mods, very intersting thoughts.
How will this design effect the left hand shooter?
I want one of these forsure and don’t want to be left out as a left hand shooter.
@Bob Doggett, We noticed some comments weren’t answered, sorry it took so long to discover this question. We don’t have time right now but as soon as we can, we have some ideas to make our bullpup kit accessible to left handers. We believe the brass ejects horizontally in a perpendicular direction from the ejection port.

just one other question, what is the length of pull?
I repeat what is the legnth of Pull.
@Paul Fullem,
I would like to know too. Looks to be about a foot and a half. That’s a little long for my liking.
@Jesse Foust, We noticed some comments weren’t answered, sorry it took so long to discover this question. The length of pull is 16 5/8″. Believe it or not, it feels very cofortable.
@Paul Fullem, The length of pull from the trigger to the buttstock is 16 5/8″.
will it work on a yugo or para?
@adam, We noticed some comments weren’t answered, sorry it took so long to discover this question. Yes, it will work on both.
Send me one…I’ll be a guinea pig! I’ll test the fit and function on my Yugo 59/66. If I like it…I’ll pay for it!
I’ll prolly order one anyway…I have faith!
I would think a rail mounted directly on top of the stock would prove more usefull when selecting optics than the high-rise carry handle type.
@Hawcer, We noticed some comments weren’t answered, sorry it took so long to discover this question. You are right, we have made that change.
will this kit be compadible with the “yugo” models?
@Daniel Hanson, Yes it is.
In the video the shooter is using an optical sight. Will their be some provision for using iron sights?
I understand the “handle” makes the front sight useless, but is there some way of allowing for either the original sights to be used either by removing the “handle” or looking through an opening.
Are there any options that allow the use of backup iron sights?
@strong_bad, The OEM ‘iron sights’ are just too low to be used with any bullpup configured SKS. There are no new ‘iron sights’ built into the stock. After market ‘iron sights’ can be attached to the front and rear portion of the rail. In fact, we will demonstrate in an upcoming video.
We are working on some ‘in house iron sights’ to be available in the future.
Thank you for your interest,
SGWorks
I noticed in the video that no one was a using a proper cheek weld. Is this because your sight/optic rail is too high or is it because it’s too hot to put your cheek on the stock?
@Jerome from California, I would say it is because the optics are too high. For close range this may be ok…But for longer ranges a scope/sight mounted 4-5 inches above the barrel is never a good thing.
@Hawcer, We noticed some comments weren’t answered, sorry it took so long to discover this question. You now need to remove your rear leaf sight and the sight rail is mounted directly on the upper handguard.
@Jerome from California, very observant! The prototype in the video has a sight rail that is too high. We already planned on our final prototype for the sight rail to be lower. However, as a result of feedback and the fact that we’ve recently found it is very easy to remove the rear leaf sight, we have opted to completely remove the raised rail and put the rail directly on top of the upper hand guard instead. This makes the rail the perfect high to use flip up “iron sights”, along with a scope or reflex sight, and you get plenty of cheek weld as a result.
@glaros, Does this mean that the sight rail is going to be be mounted directly to the SKS rifle now?
It would probably hold a zero and be more accurate if the sight rail was mounted in such a fashion to prevent it from wobbling, or even more importantly to keep the sight (“iron sights” or optical alike) linked directly to the barrel/piston/action so that they do not move independently from one another.
Ok from what I read about compliance your stock would most likely count as 3 compliant parts?
I have a yugo SKS
Would this mean that this would be
15-3 meaning it’s at 12 now.
Would I be correct in assuming the simplest way to get compliant would be to change out the gas piston and take off the muzzle attachment?
Meaning it would now be at 10 foreign parts as the muzzle attachment would be gone and the gas piston American.
@Josh from Alabama, the best way to understand making a firearm compliant, is not adding compliant parts, but rather taking away non-compliant parts. By installing our stock, you will automatically remove only one non-compliant part. The easiest way for you to make your Yugo compliant is to replace the gas piston, remove your muzzle attachment, and remove the fixed 10-round magazine and replace it with a Tapco magazine. However, if you plan on using stripper clips, the only magazine that receives stripper clips quickly and easily is the OEM 10-round box magazine. If you stick with the OEM box magazine you will still have to remove two additional non-compliant parts. The only way to go this route would be to cut off the wooden upper hand guard and replace your OEM trigger with our “trigger link.”
First of all nice looking product and I want to support you guys but in the “store” page there isn’t a price for shipping and if FFL is required for shipping. As someone else already mentioned installation guide so for those who aren’t so sure about the kit can at least “preview” it. Also the “Store” page I don’t know what to fill out to place an order. Perhaps for the first “batch” you can setup a “pre-sale” e-mail so people can send and you can reply with exact price and all.
@Mammoth, thank you for your encouragement. FFL is not required for shipping as it is not a firearm. The shipping price is now posted on the store page.
We will soon be posting an installation video on the site.
On the store page, click “buy now” to purchase. Shipping will automatically be added. If you prefer check or money order, please contact us via our contact page.
On your order page, can you be more clear as to what goes in the blank fields?
@Bob, We noticed some comments weren’t answered, sorry it took so long to discover this question. Just leave those blank-it is part of the design from Paypal, but allows of description of choices
First off, amazing design. I would like to make a suggestion. Instead of leaving the barrel naked, add a forward barrel guard that would leave maybe 2 or 3 inches of barrel exposed. This would allow for Picatinny rails and accessories. Much like the Steyr Aug A3. I’m sure you guys can design this and still allow the barrel to be free floating. This would also help keep the operator from burning him/herself. This could also be an addon attachment.
Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing the final design.
@MSL209, thank you for your kudos and suggestions. We felt if we made the stock too long, it would be longer than 16″ barreled SKS’ such as the Chinese Paratrooper. You will find that there is adequate space for your non-firing hand or for the addition of a Pic rail and forward hand grip.
@glaros, The SKS in the YouTube demo video was a 20″ barrel? I’d love to see what it looks like with the 16″ paratrooper model, esp with a muzzle brake on it.
This is what’s great about America. Great idea, hopefully a rock solid product = great success.
@Julius, yes the YouTube video was with a 20″ barreled SKS, and you’re right, a bullpupped 16″ paratrooper is almost too much to stand, with an overall length of 26 3/8″ long, 3/8″ longer than the federal minimum length. Awesome!
@glaros,
I don’t suggest making the stock any longer, just extending the frot to cover the barrel more. I chopped a forend onto your bullpup. This is what I have in mind.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n32/_R3DrUm__/bullpup3.jpg
This is the best alternative I have ever seen for an sks. You guys are on your way to making some very good profit. Keep the QC very high and you will do well, congrats on your new venture, Ill be ordering 2!!
I am a Left handed shooter. Am I going to have a problem with this set up?
Before I order, I need to know this. I don’t want to loose out on another great product because i’m a lefty. There are a lot of us out there.
@Bob Doggett, we noticed some comments weren’t answered, sorry it took so long to discover this question. At this juncture, we do not recommend using our bullpup stock as a “lefty.†We are working on a cheek block and a case catch. This is still in the development stage.
truly a fascinating product you have. I would’ve never guessed a clip fed bully being so quick, coupled w/ detachable box mags, and the low price point, truly wonderful. personaly I would like to see some close-up pics (I know your working at it) and a traditional trigger guard, But with your competitors selling for $400 its something I can live without. I may buy your stock in the upcoming months, and then purchase a rife to fit it. $350bullpup Horay!
@simpson, thank you for the kudos!
i woud like to say that this stock looks great and seems to work great. i live in ca and a bullpup that take the stripper clips is a must. my one peeve with it is the 16 5/8 length of pull its seems a little long. maybe not for me who is six feet tall but what about my girlfriend who is smaller and shorter. is the long length of pull needed for the mag well or what?
@drew from ca, we kept the pistol grip as far to the rear as possible in order for the stock to be compatible with detachable magazines. I know that 16 5//8″ length of pull seems long, but when you actually hold the rifle, you will be amazed how comfortable it feels.
What is this set up going to do to us lefthanders ? Don’t want a nose full of brass.
@The Bob, At this time we don’t recommend our bullpup conversions kit to be used by left handers. We are working on something that we feel might be a good fix. What makes it tough is the SKS bolt.
