AK folding stock

[Cal-gun Fan]

Hey guys,

I saw THIS: http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=16737&cat=0&page=1

It is a triangle folding stock that simply has an attachment that screws into the normal AK fixed stock area. My question is, would this work with one of the polymer folders?

I'm sure a polymer stock could be fitted to this, it's just a matter of having the basic skills to do it.

The problem with that setup is that it adds a couple of inches to the LOP which would, for me, make the rifle awkward to shoot.

See thats actually one of the things I figured would be nice, especially for putting a scope on there.

What kind of work do you think would be involved?

Forgive my ignorance but are "all" K-Var products manufactured in the USA? It makes a difference in parts count for 922r compliance.

Doc's looks like an East German folder.

Wrong stock, Doc. Thats the Wire folder, not the ak 100 Polymer folder. The polymer folder is basically a normal fixed stock that folds.

Mike, I'm fine for 922r, thats not what I need help on.

Yep. Kvar didn't have wires in stock. The supply seems to be drying up.

IIRC the poly and triangle stocks have different pivot pin diameters. I have a spare Rommy wire folder (lever type) if you're interested.

IIRC the poly and triangle stocks have different pivot pin diameters.

Not exactly. There are two different diameters out there of pin: 4.5 and 5.5mm. Apparently the Sov started with 4.5mm and later decided to increase the diameter to 5.5mm. The Bulgarians copied the earlier design (4.5mm) and have stuck with it.

So, if it's Russian it's either 4.5 or 5.5mm depending on age. Bulgarian should be 5.5mm.

I prefer the poly to the metal triangle for a shooter. Doesn't get as hot in the summer or cold in the winter, you still have the storage for the cleaning capsule, and it fits me better.

The metal triangle sidefolder does look cooler.

I bought an AK that had one of the K-VAR folding stock on it. I ended up putting it on a Century AK-74, trying to give it a better look. The LOP was about the same as the NATO length aftermarket stocks and fit perfectly on stamped recievers.

My brother ended up putting it on his Saiga-12 after having the gun converted. All in all, it doesn't look too bad.
