vbrtrmn 167 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hope you enjoyed the title I have a buddy who is a 6' 4" Army Reservist, built like a brick shit house. I've been trying to convince him to get into the Saiga platform. His main concern is that due to his giant arms, most weapons feel too short for him. He's got an SKS with the "Tapco Intrafuse SKS Rifle System", he says that even at the longest setting, it is still too short; this is about the length of the Tapco T6 stock. So, the question is... What's a good stock for a vet with monkey arms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WardenWolf 6 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 That's the beauty of the AK platform: you can attach virtually any stock you want to it, and customize it in various ways. There's even adapters to allow use of AR-15 adjustable stocks. Basically, the answer is: whatever he needs, he can get it, even if he has to custom order a stock from someone like Battlerifle G3.

Glockmonger 18 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Maybe try a nato length stock with a pussy pad on it. I did that to one and it fit me (6'1") and the guy I sold it to (6'6"). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, I was looking for more of a recommendation. Maybe try a nato length stock with a pussy pad on it. I did that to one and it fit me (6'1") and the guy I sold it to (6'6"). Thanks Glockmonger!

PRISONSHANK 70 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 you could try the longest ace stock and one of those aces "no mod" adapters for stamped recievers. thats bout the longest setup i can think of, i'm 6' even and nato length is perfect for me. if i was 6'4" i think i'd need longer than that.

uzitiger 193 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Your friend could try the Choate Machine and Tool stock spacer for the AK: http://www.riflestock.com/ They make spacers for the AKs and a Dragunov style stock. The spacers can be added to other make stocks as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kwicko 8 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hell, I'm 6'8", with an 80" wingspan, and I don't have any trouble with a Saiga. 'Course, I've been this size for 30 years, so how would I know is a stock or a rifle were too short? It's not like I've ever picked one up and gone, "Oh YEAH - THIS is what I've been missing! This thing fits PERFECT!" Pretty much any handgun or rifle seems smallish to me, but that's true of most everything else in this tiny little world too, so I don't worry about it.

bigcec1 72 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm 6'5" I have a tromix skele stock with an ace block feels good to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kope007 14 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm 9'10". I use a modified crutch as my stock works great. J/k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I recommend an Ace ultra-lite modular stock. It's manufactured over-long, (for most people), and meant to be cut to the owner's desired length. Just don't cut it, and see how it suits your monkey-armed friend.

GregM1 241 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 im not sure what quality you are after, but the ATI Strikeforce extends to a very long length (from receiver to end of stock) of 14.5" with the recoil pad on it. plenty of length for monkey man.
