Looking for a single .223 conversion follower for AK-74 mags.

AWESOME. Any way you can get pictures of this? Do the 14mm threads on the SGL barrel come all the way up to the FSB like on 14mm threaded AKs? Basically I want to know if you can cut off the 24mm threaded section flush with the front of the FSB and then just screw on a 14mm flash hider and be good to go.

So I don't have an SGL21 yet but I'm hoping to snag a 21-94 this summer or whenever I have enough saved up. Problem is I don't like the AK-74 brake (loud, heavy, long, too much flash/concussion). I was wondering...since some "mil-spec" barrels make it on to regular Saiga 7.62s and have 14mm threads under the FSB shroud, is it possible that SGLs which have all the military features, would also have the same threads under the 24mm FSB? Basically I want to have 14mm standard AK threads on an SGL21 with the solid AK-100 sidefolder, like the AK-103 prototype here: I know I can always have the

Took a gamble and used the stock screw from my fixed stock... DONE.

So here's what I did: I filled in the hole with gorilla glue and some thin wood scraps I had, waiting for that to solidify, and tomorrow I'll get a new wood screw, longer than the regular stock screws, but shorter than the 2.5" screws I bought which are WAY too long. Thinking maybe 1.5" as that will reach through the 1" deep repair site and into some undamaged wood for a better hold. I will finish this wood folder project if it's the last thing I do!

Almost there... then disaster strikes. I was tightening it down when one of the holes stripped and the wood screw just came out. Any tips on how to fill/build up the hole again so I can try again, maybe with a longer screw? One of the screws is in there good, I used an AK stock screw, they are pretty big with some good threads.

If it is hard to dig out, then Drill it out. You could probably get the rest of the residue to come off the walls with a wood chisel. Then do just like the above video for the poly stock and you will be happy. No need, the polyurethane top-coat is drying on my wood stock and I am picking up the drill tonight. Project should be done tomorrow morning and I might even get to go shoot it!

Do you have to be really gentle when folding and unfolding the wood stock, or can you sort of give it a quick pull to open it like the regular ACE stocks?

OK so I am about to try Take 3 at this. I got the Bulgarian AK-74 stock that AZG and ItsAllCreated used, the red mahogany stain is drying now, and it will get the spray on semi-gloss poly tonight. I got a pair of 2 1/2" 10# Stainless Steel sheet metal screws (recommended at the hardware store over deck screws). I am going to pre-drill with a 9/64 drill bit and then mount the screws. Any recommendations/cautions before I do this?

It would be really cool to see a triangle style or even SVDS style folder that attached the same way as the ACE stocks. I just think the ACE stocks as is don't look very "Russian".

Awesome videos, DrThunder, really enjoyed them! Great work on those stocks and an innovative idea for the laminated stock in particular. Keep us posted on how they hold up in the long run. Unfortunately, I have already drilled the threads and some big dimples out of my ACE folding mech for the first attempt at this project, so I can't go with any sort of threaded bolts. I am just going to follow AZG's original instructions as closely as I can I think, with some suggestions from ItsAllCreated like 1" extra to maintain OAL, pilot holes for the screws, and maybe I'll use 2-3" long wood screws jus

Tried digging it out, it still is not solid enough to screw into but it has bonded to the plastic of the stock. Not coming off. I'm waiting on DrThunder88's response as to how he got the poly to work, then I might try one of the K-Var polymer stocks on scratch n' dent clearance.

Any pics of your polymer folder? What stock did you use and how did you do it? I still have a russian plum stock I could try...but it would be a crime to destroy it. Here are pictures of the failures. In the wood stock one of the screws stripped so I had to cut it off to get the mount off. The epoxy in the polymer stock was nice and sturdy...until I drilled it. It is mushy enough not to hold the screws, but impossible to get out of the stock. $120+ worth of stocks destroyed... If you got this to work with a standard K-Var or other polymer stock PLEASE tell me how!

I could take some pics tonight, but the problem really was that I used a pretty poor filler material. The JB epoxy could not hold up to any stress and I could wiggle the stock by hand. It sure likes to stick to plastic though, so the stock is pretty much a total loss. The Laminated wood split down the laminate, and was instantly wobbly at the range. The screws also loosened up from just playing with the mount. New plan is to get the Bulgy wood stock set and use some 3" or so wood screws and really bolt it in there. AZG, did you drill pilot holes on the stock you made before you put the scr
