So seriously though...
When I was a new SKS owner in California I travelled to Arizona and picked up some 37rd magazines and one of those skeleton stocks. It looked like an AK kinda. Most California's couldn't tell the difference. I was that guy :-C
My experience - I couldn't get the mags to fit right and had constant feed issues with them. Getting them in took too long and if I didn't get them just right then I couldn't get them back out. Like really, they were jammed and I'd have to put the muzzle on the ground and while holding the release button I had to stomp the back of the magazine to get it to rock forward and come off. The magazines themselves were suicidal and the feed lips were shaving off from poor alignment, even when the mags were installed as correctly as I could get them. After a couple hundred rounds each the mags quit working with more than about 12 rounds In them.
As for the stock, I had to file the magwell open a little to allow the wider detachable mags to fit. The stock never felt right and the ergonomics were just off. After a few months I out it back to original configuration.
And you want to out a scope on it? Save your money. I tried a receiver cover with integral mount. This was another dremil (the cover) to make it fit scenario. It was a snug fit. The scope still couldn't hold zero for shit. I bought a better scope. Same problem. The only way a scope will work with that rifle is to replace the rear sight and use a pistol scope with long eye relief. And the whole time I could hit with the iron sight at ~250-300 yards just fine. If anything, maybe get a little red dot sight.
So yes, I was that guy once and learned a bunch of expensive lessons. Go on, beat me up. I just wanted it to be a cool rifle. I recommend to not waste the money. That said, if you're still thinking about it I'd highly advise to just sell the SKS and buy an AK. It will be cheaper in the end but AKs seem to be a little less accurate.

Few years ago I looked at lever actions at sportsmans. Guy working tried to hand me a mossberg all covered with that mall ninja trash. I didn’t even touch it. Said put it back.
We've all done regrettable stuff. You just don't want to admit to anything incriminating.Buncha fudds.
