I've been on this AK-74 researching kick for about a week now reading everything I can about all the different makers and variants currently available. I've looked at lots of awesome pictures and read lots of useful opinions. One thing I just don't get is the whole folding stock thing. I've shot AK's with side and under folding stocks, and I can't get a comfortable cheek weld. It dosn't make sense to shoot it with the stock folded. That would be like having a PGO shotgun, which as far as I can tell is a nearly useless format.
Are we, as a shooting community, obsessed with things like folding stocks, flash hiders, and pistol grips simply because somebody out there is trying to tell us we can't have them? I don't want to start a pissing contest. This was just a thought that suddenly hit me while looking at posted pictures of another forum member's admittedly sweet looking folder AK.
Does anybody shoot with the stock folded? Do you just like to have a smaller rifle case? For all of you with a folding stock rifle...why do you like it? What practical advantage does it give you? Your thoughts?
