    Might be helpful in deciphering the plethora of AK variants out there. Or just call them all AK-47s and be done with it.;)

    I like the NATO length stock over the Warsaw length (NATO is 1.25 inches longer) but my overall preference is a side folder.

    I also prefer a longer lop. I have a underfolder. And I love it. But a traditional AK is on my list. So , which stock is preferred and why?
    AK vs akm?
    I lean traditional AK (only cause I am a traditionalist, but not with my first a AK build....)

    But I know the lop is shorter on an AK. I prefer a longer lop. I also do not shoot with combat type gear (flak jacket or plates). Is the akm type stock better for the average shooter?

    The Romanian underfolder I had years ago was way way more comfortable than any Yugo underfolder. But the absolute best underfolder design I have ever seen and owned was actually not on an AK, but it was European and sheetmetal: on a Sterling. It just folds and nests inside itself and almost disappears. I'm sure it could be adapted to an AK, but I sold my Sterling before my sporterizing alter ego could yank parts off of it

    And the "ears" on the " U " shaped butt can and will get caught on horizontal MOLLE webbing when you try to shoulder it. Cost me a rifle side match at ERML years ago

    What kind of stock would an STG2000 be considered? I loved it. My all time favorite AK stock. It is a longer length of pull, too. The concave and ribbed buttplate really stayed in the shoulder for mag dumps. Also, the handguard covered the entire gas system, so no burns on the hands

    I know they all aren’t technically AKs, but you know, if I am being sensitive to that I just say “AK variant”. Most of the time though I just say “AK”. It’s not right, but most people don’t know/care. KISS method.
