SKS leaky gas tube.

How much too short? 1/4 inch or so? A threaded barrel stock will fit on a pinned barrel action, but it will not work the other way around without work/fitting.

yeah just about, and it's cut for a blade bayonet.

the stock i have on it right now fits perfectly and is cut for a tent spike, but the blade bayonet stock doesn't fit.

the *other* blade bayonet stock fits just fine, but it needs to finish being glued back together

A press fit rifle stock and threaded rifle stock the crossbolt is in a slightly different location. It's farther back by 1/4-3/8 inch if my memory is right. All "standard" blade cut stocks are pretty much interchangeable.

Some measurements here.

These sound like some of these Albanian/Chinese/Russian guns that came in most recently. Never know what combination of what parts may or may not be on any one of them. That's why they have been so cheap. The Albanians just repaired or replaced with any part they could force fit to try and make them work. Many were field expedient repairs by the Militia's or rebels that owned them. A lot of these will require buying new replacement parts to make them work as designed. Just is what it is.

Hi Jackson,

May I ask what kind of o-ring did you put on your SKS? I have the exact same problem. Thanks!
