whats a good adjustable stock for ak wasr?

[wolverine_173]

I got a romanian wasr 10 and want an adjustable stock thats not very expensive but that will be solid. Dont really want it to fold. whats a good one. Ive seen tapco (heard bad things) ATI and UTG. which is best, and where do i buy?

same with a quad rail.

Thoughts please

Go ultimak on the rail. I didn't and tried a cheaper rail. It holds fine and everything but I can't shoot it without wearing gloves or it burns my hands. as far as stock goes I can't help ya, I left my stock on that came with the rifle. I know ace makes good ones but I don't know if they have an adjustable stock or not.

If you are looking for a AR style telescoping stock for a WASR and "not very expensive" is important then Tapco is probably your best best. The Tapco is $50.

Since this is what I do for a living, I would go with the Tapco For the WASR. The Fusion T6 is nice for those that like the M4 style stock. For the money and for weekend warrior use, they are plenty reliable, and they have high CDI value.

 

[7.62thing]

This is what I would do. Put on the Tapco T6 stock in your favorite color, add the Tapco Intrafuse quad rail with the shorty hand grip(this aids in mag changes), top it off with a Sight Mark reflex sight, and you are good to go. There are better products than Tapco; Ultimak, Midwest Industries, and there are worse; CAA, ATI(some of it is ok, but buyer beware). The fact is, for the money you would spend on an Ultimak quad rail, you can have all of the above stuff, have a badass looking gun, and still have money left over.

Thoughts please

Is there any possibility that this weapon could be used for serious purposes?

If so fixed stock. Most folks are fine with the standard stock but a 1.25" longer "Nato" stock can be purchased if you have gorilla arms.

The Midwest Industries forearm is about $90. I think its about the best solution if you must have cheese grater. Since you didn't waste your money on a goofy looking Tapco stock you can now afford it.

If its a toy, put whatever junk on it you think looks cool.

You absolutely cannot beat UTG for quality and price on many things. I have a number of UTG products, and I bought them after checking countless reviews and comparing different products and prices. Their rail hardware is top-notch, with quality on the same level as products that cost 4 or 5 times as much. Their stuff often is very slightly heavier, but for the price difference you can certainly live with it. I looked up the reviews on their AK collapsible stock for you, and everyone rates it highly.

I have no brand loyalty to UTG, but here are the UTG items I have wound up buying and using:

(1) AK lever-lock scope rail: I hunted with this on my converted Saiga .223. It survived a fall that broke the scope on it without a scratch. It allows the scope to be mounted a little farther forward than the "proper" BP-02 scope mount, which works out well because I cannot get proper eye relief with my new scope on the BP-02. Compared to a real BP-02, this mount is lighter weight but build quality is equivalent.

(2) Galil quad-rail assembly: This product was $70 and got stellar reviews, and is identical to another product that costs $400. I mounted this on my Galil. Very easy to install, very lightweight and good feel. No complaints.

(3) Weaver / Picatinny to sling swivel or bipod adapter: Price was $8. Cheapest competitor? $70. Profit margins on rail hardware are INSANE.

(4) Two very nice rifle cases, one of which is the ONLY soft case I could find that would fit my PSL with the scope installed. The other is for my Saiga. Price? $40 each. Build quality? Excellent.

(5) A 3-9x40 scope. Cost: $56. Simmons makes a lighter weight and overall more compact and better 3-9x40 at the same price. However, this scope had excellent optics and had no problems with the recoil on my Saiga .223. If I hadn't dropped the whole 10-pound rifle directly on the scope's eyebell during the aforementioned hunting trip, I'd probably still be using it today. Note: the glass did NOT shatter, but the tube bent. I replaced this scope with a Simmons, however. Both scopes were mounted on that same UTG mount.

Now, regarding Tapco and ATI:

Tapco has a few nice things, but their stocks are cheaply made and often ugly, as is most of their other external hardware. Only really good things they make are the Tapco G2 Trigger Group and the Saiga (not AK) Intrafuse handguard.

ATI is just butt-ugly, period, and their stuff should never be installed on ANY rifle. I don't even care about the quality. It's the sheer ugliness. ATI is primarily known for selling kits to poorly bubbify Mosin Nagants and absolutely horrible polymer SKS stocks. Basically, "How to turn your milsurp into something only a blind person could love."

I've heard a lot of good things about this UTG Buttstock:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TUSJZC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

An AR-style buttstock looks odd on an AKM, but I don't doubt it's functionality and durability. When considering price vs quality, this seems to be the best choices available.

I see that the Tapco has been mentioned. I don't have any experience with the Tapco or UGT, but after reading up on both for the past few days, I would definitely take the UTG over the Tapco.

 

[KAMAK]

i have this stock with the optional cheek riser. ( http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=24847/l=y/Product/AK_47_COLLAPSIBLE_BUTTSTOCK ) been a good reliable stock no problems. if i had to do it all over again i would get an ar adapter and use a magpul moe or ctr. Also i have utg quadrail and its very nice for the price. All of this is on a wasr, all of it fit well with no modifying

I just bought an Arsenal SGL-21 and I'm planning on adding a VLTOR buffer tube and an AR (Magpul CTR) stock on it. Exactly like this guy did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drCyGX5Hcnw

I just put a Mako adjustable stock on my Arsenal this afternoon, and it feels really solid. Got it from Cheaper Than Dirt, and it cost a little more than the Tapco. I figure buy once, cry once.

 

[wolverine_173]

I am very interested in UTG amazon has there stock with adaptor for 35 bucks and it has good reviews.

http://www.amazon.com/UTG-Collapsib...SJZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316274336&sr=8-1

so you think this will do me good?

and what about this rail?

http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Ver...=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1316274382&sr=1-4

anyone have experiance with it?

For a telescoping stock there are two options I would consider:

1) The CAA adapter/buffer tube. I've used the aluminum tube on a few different guns. It has held up well on my Saiga 12 shotgun shooting 3" slugs and 00 buck.

2) THe VLTOR adapter/buffer tube

Add to these whatever AR stock you fancy. Personally I find the Magpul MOE to be a good one if the buyer is trying to keep costs down.

As to quad rails I have a ultmiak setup. While I rather like it, it is not really a budget minded system.

I plan to try a midwest industries rail soon. I'm also interested in the Chaos rifle rail they are bringing out but it is not yet available.

IMHO the above are better quality products than the UTG stuff I've seen. It is worth saving a little longer and getting something nicer when it is something that only needs to be purchased once.



Personally I would never buy the Tapco T6 stock.

 

[wally]

IMHO the Ultimak and a Primary Arms red dot is the best inexpensive way to go for an AK red dot. You can upgrade to an Aimpoint later -- I like the setup so much I'll spring for the Aimpoint (which will cost more than the gun did!) if my Primary Arms dot dies.

For an adjustable stock on an AK I like the UTG AK to AR adapter, about $12, and the AR stock of your choice. The Tapco AR stock has always worked well for me, YMMV, but I didn't like the Tapco M4-like AK stock at all, I think their AR stock and the UTG adapter is a better fit.

 

[wolverine_173]

yeah i know you get what you pay for but i struggle spending 150-200 bucks on a rail and stock for a gun i only paid 350 for.

 

[jojo200517]

I'm going to second philpost on the MAKO stock. Not sure what they run other places but the standard collapsible adjustable is listed for $86.65 and the shock absorbing adjustable is listed for $111.45 on the website http://www.themakogroup.com/category_s/55.htm. Adjustable face piece is also available for $26 and fits any of their stocks.

It does cost a bit more than the Tapco but it feels much better to me. For the record tho nothing really wrong with the tapco one, they aren't THAT horrible.

 

[wolverine_173]

Has anyone used the utg collapsable stock???
