who here finds that the shoulder stock on the SKS is too short. i mean that the trigger is too close and makes it uncomfortable too shoot. is there anyway to fix this ???

You can spend the money for a different stock or you can spend less for a 1" or 2" screw on butt pad.  I had one for a SKS but took it off and put it on my Kalashnikov.  I think King's Gun Works sold those pads.  HTH.

My Chinese SKS had a rubber butt pad added at some time before I bought it.  It's an ugly orange thing but I don't want to take it off or I'll have the same problem you have.  Length of pull seems about right as it is now.

Too short is better than too long.
(At least as regards buttstocks  ;D
