1" rubber buttstock extension

[huaco]

At the gunshow last weekend I picked up an RPG brand 1" rubber buttstock extender for my WASR-10 with the standard wooden stock. Anyone have anything to say about these things?

I've always felt that a bit more length in the buttstock would be nice and as much as I hate to admit it my shoulder does get slightly bruised shooting with the metal plate against it. I'm old and thin in my upper body and bruise easily. I just removed the two screws and attached this thing onto the metal plate and it seems ok though I haven't shot it yet. There's a hole for accessing the cleaning kit but I got my finger stuck trying to get it out and had to use a screwdriver to depress the cover to get my finger out. That can happen without the extension. The only part of the kit I've ever used is the housing itself with the slot for loosening the forearm release lever. There are better tools for cleaning.

I had thought about buying one of those slipover pads but never knew which size to get. This one fits perfectly and costs less ($8.50).

I put one on a SKS to lengthen the pull. No problems, just watch the finger eating trapdoor lurking inside. :cool:

I've had one on my Romanian for a few years. Works pretty good.

I got to shoot my AK with the extension/pad today; definitely easier on the sholder and the extra length is just right.

I bought one of those for my Vector but the screw holes do not line up with the butt stock. Vector does not offer a butt stock extension. I guess that I will have to live with the short stock or buy an expensive longer stock.:sad:

One of the best accessories you can buy for your AK or SKS IMHO.tom.:thumbsup:
