BruisedShoulder 7 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Not interested in a folder but am interested to know any feedback on the standard AK style fixed stock and an adjustable stock. Is there a preference? Does one produce better alignment when looking down the sights? Any advantage/disadvantage of one over the other? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I like the AK fixed, or the AK folder... They usually keep the proper alignment angles. I worry about the alignment with the M4 styles... but, then again, I dislike the Non-AK style butt-stocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Hefe 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 At least you get that option... I live in CA where they tell you how your gun can be! Damn the man! On that note can anybody give me advice on how I can pin a retractable Magpul CTR stock? Preferably it would be permanent in the eyes of the DOJ but not so permanent that with a light tool or two it could be reversed so I don't destroy a perfectly good stock. Besideds the fixed AK stock does anyone have suggestion or pictures of an asthetically pleasing and functional fixed stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would think it would be easy enough to (carefully) drill a small hole and screw/pin the friction lock on your CTR. As you probably know, holding the friction lock keeps the slide lever from disengaging. I feel your pain, as much as Id like a side-folder, Im probably going to opt for a fixed 8.5" ACE or Tromix skeleton with Limbsaver pad for my "PRK" bound S12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
52brandon 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'd go fixed if you're against folding. It's nothing against collapsible stocks, I like them on ARs but I just feel AKs and variants should be fixed or folded Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LemonSlush 0 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I live in MA and we have even more restrictions then CA ( besides the stupid bullet button) I cant use a stock that collapses or folds. So my options are basically to just use the fixed stocks :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theturtlepond 31 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) I had a collapsable stock on my S12 and put a TAPCO fixed stock on it. It was much harder to get a good cheek weld so I put the collapseable one back on. And the fixed stock was too short compared to the collapsable one, even all the way collapsed it was still shorter. I would put a folding stock on personally but they don't make a quallity one in FDE. IMO The collapsable feature is not very useful.

banshee 69 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I don't like AR collapsable stocks on ARs and like them even less on non ARs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Caged_Bird 474 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I've built two S-12s. My first was a fixed warsaw-length butt-stock. It worked well for anyone who used the weapon. I have a buddy who is 6'10" and he prefers a long length of pull, so he prefers adjustable stocks. If I were a taller person I'd probably go with an adjustable stock, so, basically, it's all personal preference... My second S-12 is a folder and I LOVE it! I chose the shortest butt-stock that I could because you can always lengthen it out either with a limb-saver butt-pad or an extension between the receiver and the butt-stock, or both. Like I said, it's all a matter of personal preference. With that being said: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have a Mako recoil absorbing stock tube so I have to have an AR type stock on it. I chose a Magpul MOE stock. Feels good to me. I like fixed stocks too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
