bkelm18 0 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Krinkov fixed stock from RPB industries? Thinking about using one on a conversion and just wanted to see if it was a piece of junk or not before I order it. Thanks. Krinkov Stock from RPB Industries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalioth 405 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 When he says "plastic", he means some of that super-duper virtually unbreakable polymer stuff, not butter-tub plastic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I believe that they were made by First Son Enterprises. I have never seen anything made by that company that was not a quality piece. I tried one of these and it was short, but with a recoil pad for length and a cheek raiser for improved cheek weld I think that it would make a nice stock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quikz 1 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'd like to know too. Am in the process of gathering info/parts for a PG conversion. Am REALLY liking the Krinkov fixed stock. Does anyone have any info or reviews of this particular stock??? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have any info or reviews of this particular stock??? Thanks! I have this stock, and I really like it! I'm 6'2" and it fits me fine. Its really sturdy plastic, don't worry,it's not gonna break. I suggest you order the recoilpad from them when you order the stock. hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I bought this stock from them in December '08. They were in business at that time. vorpal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sorry to bring up a "dead thread".. anyone know if RPB is still in business? I don't think they answer emails. I sent them one, when I was in the market for the same stock, last year. I never got a reply, and they didn't get my business. But they seem to be the only one with that specific stock, in stock.

Azrial 1,091 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sorry to bring up a "dead thread".. anyone know if RPB is still in business? Yes Sir. I bought from Russel at the gun show here in Atlanta last weekend. He is a super nice fellow. His website can be found here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AEnemaBay 3 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 cool... think I may order one. Did you ever get one? I placed an order on the 6th through their website and I haven't received any word from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a one man operation, they move a little leisurely sometime when the owner gets busy, as most of the Gun Industry is now. He is a super nice fellow and I think that his prices make up for it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OK great! I guess I'll just wait for him to get around to it then. I had no idea he ran it by himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WardenWolf 6 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, I'd suggest getting the recoil pad too. Narrow rigid stock + AK recoil = pain. Even with a .223, that wouldn't be what I'd call pleasant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even with a .223, that wouldn't be what I'd call pleasant. Not a bad suggestion, I have the "Krinkov Recoil Pad" mounted on this stock on one of my Home built Romy AKs. Also known as a "baby shoe."

I figured as much, I had plan'd on doing that, when I shoot my S.223, I pull that bugger in real tight so it doesn't move.

AEnemaBay 3 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well I got mine today from RPB. This thing is pretty tough and a bit of detail in regards to the original steel folder. I'm a little miffed that it didn't come with a sling swivel. But hey, gives me another reason to make something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SanSacto 1 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I ordered one today and got an e-mail confirmation today. Not the shipping confirmation, just order confirmation. I can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Botasky1 3 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Gathering parts for a conversion on a 7.62x39.. Does anyone have any comments on how this stock performs while shooting.. Its obviously pretty dead on as far as looks go for a Krink stock, but Im just wondering whether or not this thing will FLEX while high in the pocket of the shoulder and sending rounds down range?? If im not mistaken it is polymer or some sort of plastic... and I want to kno if its rigid and stout enough to shoot with. Ive heard nightmare stories with some plastic stocks and actually had a cheaply made aftermarket Mini14 stock flex out of place on me once and couldnt ever get it back to normal after that day of shooting.

If im not mistaken it is polymer or some sort of plastic... and I want to kno if its rigid and stout enough to shoot with. This is a very rigid stock. The only criticism I have of it is that in some AK's it will have a small gap around the bottom of the receiver. It hit my S12 fine when I had it on before it was de-tanged and it fit fine. I think that is more a problem with some small AK variations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im also probably gonna pick up a fixed Nato length AK47 stock in polymer.. Edited May 30, 2009 by Botasky1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would say it is tougher than the aluminum one. You will not be dissapointed. LB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
