http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/ has a lot of good options. I personally like Ace stocks on all mine.
Thanks. Whenever I have a new shooter out here, I always pull out the 12 and let them shoot a drum. I put a limbsaver on that Ace stock and even with buckshot, it is a pleasure to shoot.
It's by no means an OEM rifle, but I have a thing for side folding SBR'd Draco's.
Thanks Veriform.
Compared to most rifles of similar caliber, the AK is a little rough on the shoulder. All of my 7.62x39 have metal folders on them wrapped with paracord and they are all meat tenderizers, even when pulled in tight and seated on your shoulder. I like the discomfort though. After a hundred or so rounds, it gives me the sense that I've accomplished something. Now my wife? Not so much. Her new saiga will have a similar stock that the 12 has on it. Win/win for me though. I get to add another AK to the arsenal and she will un-ass my Tula that she claimed the minute I traded for it.
This is the type I add to mine. Uncomfy but I like the idea of being able to swing a metal war club when ammo runs out.
Funny story. I got a great deal on some east german surplus mags a while back. While cleaning them, I discovered one had some hair stuck in the base plate, Upon further inspection, it turned out to have a piece of scalp connected to the hair. Somebody got brained with that mag. Functions fine. #warmthoughts
This is at the top of the list too.
Just under 3 months for the stamp.
Previously mounted the Ultimak bottom rail (short version), the Ultimak standard gas tube rail (shortened mod) and the ACE AR grip adapter with modified MAID grip.
Also a MI sling mount on the rail and a Krebs UNI mount
I also added a notch in the safety lever to hold the bolt open. (nice for ranges and matches)
I had an unused CTR/Buffer tube/Magpul ASAP sling plate and castle nut so I figured I try out the ACE Integrated AR15 stock mount.
I've used the standard ACE folders in the past and while they worked fine, I wanted to try something a little different since I had the parts in the garage.
For those who are going to use and ACE folding mount- The supplied bolts from ACE are 5mm/.80 TP.
I used a tap and drill bit from ACE Hardware. Nothing fancy.
I used a IRWIN 5mm-0.80 tap set with corresponding IRWIN #19 tap drill bit.
I marked one hole and drilled it with the DRACO hanging in a vice(wood pads).
The standard drill bit(not a bit for hardened steel) cut quickly with a cordless drill.
Tapping the hole should be a 1/4 turn affair then back out- start over and with lots of oil. It took about 15 min per hole to tap.
Go slow, too fast and you risk breaking the tap off in the hole.(Higher quality taps will resist this)
Marking the second hole is much easier once the assembly is mounted temporarily.
This mount is a one finger open/close and locks open very securely as all ACE mounts do.
I'm a lefty and while the stock is folded I can use the pistol just like the stock is not there- it interferes none whatsoever.
Some pics for comparison- M16 10.5 SBR and Draco SBR.
Its basically the same length as a 10.5"AR SBR. It just weighs twice as much.
