long_action 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I was thinking about modding the shape of one. Wondering if I should get a Tapco (if it's solid) or stick with an original wood stock... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

long_action 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Tapco stock is hollow. Bummer, I was hoping to use one. Are any US made stocks solid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AtlSaiga 25 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I too would like to know who makes a solid stock. Its the first thing I noticed the first time I ever touched a saiga. I threw up a little in my mouth and then walked out of the gun store just to make sure I hadn't accidentally walk into a toys'r'us. My VEPR has a solid stock. Sure it weighs a pound or so by itself, but I don't care. That's how modern, well built things should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Likely more wall thickness but I never measured it. I wanted to post pictures of mine from when I was fitting the limbsaver but it seems those pictures were lost when the site switched and started the gallery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have no doubt that the Tapco feels better than the original plastic stock. The ones that comes with the Saiga truly feels like a toy. Same case as the stock that came with my Savage 10, that thing was gone as soon as I got the rifle. I was only wondering because I needed something solid to make mods to.

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) We're talking about the Tapco "AK" stock here and not the Tapco T-6, right? Assuming you're just looking for a US-made poly AK stock and not a collapsible model like the T-6, my advice is to go with K-Var furniture. It's solid, and extremely durable.
