I would leave the Russian alone... that gun is too nice to mess with. Enjoy it... I dont have one, but I wish I did!....

If you really want to convert one to bulpup, I guess the Yougo would be fine. But like some have said. I had a friend that had an SKS and it shot Perfectly until he started messing with the stock, and magazine. I dont know much about it. I've never owned an SKS, but I personally think you might be better off looking for a better rifle for the application you are thinking of then spending the $250 on a new stock. I know you live in CA so you are limited to foreign rule, but I'd think there would be something you could save for on top of your $250 that would be better than a converted bulpup SKS. Even the guy in the video advertising it seams to be struggling a bit.
