AK Picture Thread!

A Polish underfolder I recently picked up, I like it but wish I could figure out how to swap ut the folder for a standard fixed stock. Anyone ever do this?

Absolutely, sell the under-folder and buy a fixed stock one. Even the best "conversions" turn into hideous hack jobs at best.

I couldn't find one to work on it, no way to attach it either??

I've got a pretty good idea on how to do it. check your PMs

I would not try it, for the cost you would be better off selling what you have and getting something with a fixed stock. you will need another rear trunnion and figure out a way to fill the two holes on each side of the receiver left by the folder. Fear21 has it pegged.

Not only the pain in the ass to do it, but you'll put more into it than you would lose in a short sale and getting what you want without ruining a perfectly good rifle. JMO.

Yea, I did not want to mess it up, was hoping to find one that would maybe bolt on and swap back to underfolder if possible, but it is not. I saw where the two holes were filled with a sling swivel. Way too much trouble and cost as said. I'll just leave it alone and buy another.

can never have too many!

Good plan - as far as underfolders go, Polish rifles are some of the most highly sought after.

Just looked at a CENTRY AUSA M74 5.45X39 , are these any good for around 500.00

Hearing pretty good things about them. Just an FYI - if you plan on shooting the corrosive 7n6 ammo, their barrels aren't chrome lined. It's not a huge issue but chrome lining makes it easier to clean up. Widener's has them for $469 right now, here. From what I've seen M74s usually come with some pretty dinky plastic furniture, so having wood already on there is nice. It's surplus wood so it might need refinishing, or leave it as is depending on your preference. Also, make sure you clean your threads / brake after shooting if you order one of these - shooting it a long time / multiple times without doing so can make it insanely difficult to get the brake off later on.

Well, I guess buying one used of gunbroker would be a gamble on how clean it is to stsrt with, but it is wood and comes with 5 mags, maybe I should stick to 7.6 cause I am not a fan of cleaning the weapon everytime I shoot it, and corrosive ammo makes that necessory.

Well you can get stuff like Wolf and Silver Bear that aren't corrosive, I was just saying if the Russian surplus is what you plan on shooting in it, be aware of the cleaning you'll have to do.

 

[Mr. Katanga]

Your best bet would be to just trade it for a fixed stock AK, its possible to do just not worth screwing up a perfectly good underfolder.

 

[TraderDan]

If century didn't have such a bad hit & miss rep, I would try one of their USA made milled rec, they are new for a tad over 700.00 on broker
Century Centurion 39 AK-47 Milled 7.62x39 C39 AK47

 

[Pompnewbie]

Hey Dan look up AK operator's union on YouTube they did a hardcore review on the C39 iirc..

 

[Mr. Katanga]

Yeah that guy beat the hell outta it, I love how it quit working because the FCG was full of rocks.

 

[Mr. Katanga]

I want to try out the 12" with a sig brace but I cant find anybody that has one.

 

[Pompnewbie]

You see the Sig xi 10.5 running the brace... holy crap it's sweet

 

[DSPLCD1]

And back to the pics. Century does have a few good rifles. Just have to know which ones.
