corbin 621 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi guys. I'm considering an AK-100 series side folder for my Saiga 223 and eventually my Draco (once I can SBR it): I'm talking about this folder: Or the solid model: For those of you that have them, please feel free to comment. A few of the questions I would ask are: *How difficult was it to mod the receiver to add the rear trunnion? If you had it done by someone else, how much did it cost? *Does the front latching hook catch on your front hand if you're holding onto the mag/receiver area (aka the Spetsnaz grip)? I'm a lefty, so my right fingers would be near it, I think. *Does the stock lock up solid when unfolded? No rattle or wobble? *Does the solid model still have the trapdoor to hold a cleaning kit? Thanks Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kilryth 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'm curious of how these folding stocks work also; particularly the solid one. Can anyone provide insight on these? Do these stocks stay locked into place in both folded & open positions? Or are they rather unstable in one or the other? I am a complete newb when it comes to folding stocks.

corbin 621 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Welcome to the forum Kilryth. I know that they lock in both positions. The small hook on the left side of the receiver locks them shut. That was the hook I was worried might catch on your front hand when the stock is extended. I suspect they are fairly solid when extended, but don't have first hand knowledge there. Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Very stable in both positions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kilryth 0 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Well that settles it; I must have one of these solid folding stocks!! If it is very stable, I don't see what you're losing by not getting one. I just hope it is Buttstroke stable! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon09 22 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Does anyone have a diagram that shows the modifications that need to be made in order for the solid side folder to work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L5K 162 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 My only complaint is that they fold to the left. They do clear the optics mount on the left side of the receiver, however, they do not clear any optics mounted to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShuckersFan 0 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Wouldn't the change to the receiver remove part of the EAA import markings? I'm fairly certain that's a big no no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Wouldn't the change to the receiver remove part of the EAA import markings? I'm fairly certain that's a big no no. Markings on guns are like mattress tags. Once you own it, you can remove them. You can't touch the serial number (but it's not in the way of this procedure). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JBski 6 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Ever since I handled a couple of Arsenal's with the solid folder, I've wanted one for mine. It feels just like the regular stock when extended, and folds. It is far and away the best authentic folder for AK's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigsal 757 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Corbin:> I currently own a solid Poly folder and they are great. I have owned a triangle folder and it was slightly less kick ass, but still solid. ASLO: If anyone has Poly folders and hardward for less than $224, please PM me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctd 20 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Does anyone know of any install instructions for the Russian folders? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HarvKY 72 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have seen some excellent tutorials and discussion threads about the AK100 stock/hinge install on various AKcentric websites. Do a search here then check each of the various sites and YouTube for thye one you like the best. Cheers Harv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
