So is the pistol grip style better, as are for sale in this link?

If you look at the first rifle in that list, you'll see there's a stop on the bottom of the pistol grip. That's there to allow you to have a more-relaxed hold on the grip. You're using fewer of your forearm muscles to grip the rifle and that makes it much easier for you to execute a smooth, linear trigger pull. You can't have a death grip with 3 fingers and a velvet touch with your index.

For years, competitive marksmen used performance enhancing substances. A relaxed shooter is an accurate shooter.

If you just want a look-alike, try one of these conversions to a SKS, AK or a 10/22. Dave

Those loop stocks were created to circumvent the import restrictions placed on pistol grips on auto-loading rifles.

the stock that came on my SKS... I think the little russian guy who had it before me was 4'6" with stubby little arms....

Is it one of these? They only imprted these from 92 to 94. They have gotten pretty valuble. I wish I would have bought more than one.

This is the one I biult for 100 yard sniping in my back yard. It is a DSA SA58 with a 24" barrel. I added the harris bi-pod, and for right now it has a simmons whitetail scope becuse I had it laying around. It is a very acurate 308, and fun to shoot.

Yeah this is a Norinco. I think I paid $150 for it back then. It's worth about a grand now.
