Matador ARMS is a Canadian firm and produces a variety of SKS accessories for the domestic market.

The Sabertooth is possibly their flagship product, a machined aluminum chassis for the SKS that adds AR-15 stock & grip compatibility, a slender Picatinny quad railing, and a magazine well for duck-billed magazines. The concept is that no permanent alterations to the rifle are necessary, which the whole thing could be reverted to “pure” without any gunsmithing.

The gun I shot also had Matador’s full-length optics rail installed. This installment locks to the rear sight base and even the rear takedown pin to provide a full period of Picatinny rail which promises to keep zero. Installing the optics rail does require you to eliminate a tab on the mill dust cover retaining pin so that it will imply a small permanent adjustment. The chip rail is a stand-alone part that may be put on any SKS, but it means that you are no longer feeding the gun from stripper clips. So be ready for either duckbill mags or loading individual rounds one at a time.

Factory SKS stocks may run anywhere from 1.1pounds to 2.5pounds based on the model and style, whereas the Sabertooth weighs in a 2.2pounds before adding a grip & stock. Part of the aim is to be a cut across the Tapco SKS Stock and also ATI offers regarding the strength of materials, quality of coating, and compatibility with extra accessories. And therefore it’s quite profitable. I certainly appreciate being able to use appropriate optics, along with the hardness of this Sabertooth are miles in the initial feel of the gun. Nothing rattles or pops including a number of those polymer setups I’ve managed.

You will observe that the SKS in this report has an enlarged addicted magazine launch. This release is another “non-permanent” addition that makes swapping mags a little more comfortable. By yanking it rearward toward the trigger guard, the duckbill magazine can rock out like the way the factory release works.

I’ve apparently been spoiled by my recent Vz58 shooting and asked if a more transformative AK style magazine release was in the works. Nolan at Matador is reluctant to create products which require gunsmith help, and I can understand why if your target market is SKS owners.

“Why should someone spend $350 on a staircase for a rifle that cost them $200?” The SKS is not a $200 rifle. We just handle it that way as its excess. If a modern manufacturer like Browning, or possibly a Russian plant chose to model up and manufacture new SKS rifles, they’d cost considerably more than $200. Only because you paid $200 doesn’t signify that the rifle merely is worth that.

I can understand his point, but I have honestly never felt a strong desire to have and improve an SKS. I hadn’t fired one because I was at University and mostly lived off cheap 7.62×39 along with ramen noodles. While the rifle gets pumped around the internet as a “budget plinker” the SKS can become over that. This is the ultamate Tactical Conversion Kit for your SKS.
