So there are a bunch of different kits for turning that old SKS into a sweet new bullpup. I'm curious to hear from people who have done this, what kits they've used, and what they've learned from the process.
SKS Bullpups?

I've considered it, but I don't think I'll ever actually go through with it. major reason being the quality of the kits used. the company that IMO makes the nicest kits is called CBRPS, and they have a few different options to choose from. however I have bought one of their kits before for a different style of rifle and even though they're sturdy when finished, they are clunky and noisy(metal flaps all over the place that don't have any kind of arresting hardware). second reason being muzzle blast and report. even though most shooting is done at a range with ears and eyes on, I would like the chance to use all of my guns for hunting or god forbid other tasks which are banned for topic here. bullpupping a x39 is a bad idea for both, especially if using cheap ammo with crappy propellants. 3rd, they make factory triggers worse and the SKS has a great trigger as far as misurp rifles go, a bullpup kit would completely ruin that. add the fact that cleaning would become a greater chore than it already is.
Check out the........
.........Bullpup forum. A guy there goes by the moniker of LKermit. He custom builds wood bullpup stocks. I have one made of black walnut with an ebony stain. Very nice craftsmanship. I'd post a pic but my gunsmith has the stock and my Yugo. He's refinishing it and doing mods to it for me. Also fixing a few things that "bubba" did to it. That's why I'm bullpupping it. Bubba already tore into it. I'm making it decent again(in my own way).

hmm.... apparently AKs and ARs have just given me an appreciation for mediocre triggers. yes there are much better triggers out there but there are definitely much worse out there as well.
I have 2 yugo SKS. I keep mine authentic with bayo, sight ans cleaning rods.
Guess for over $200 you could change the appearance. http://sgworks.com/store/

I have a really nice Yugo from the 60's and only see its value depreciating if I modify it. There are plenty of great bullpups out there if that's your thing. I think the SKS is a pretty great rifle in its original configuration.
Edit: Didn't notice that Bubba got to it. Why not restore it? I can't imagine stock furniture is that expensive.
