The_Caged_Bird 474 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Man, there sure are a bunch of guys here who like wood... Heh heh heh Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 wood is for tables, metal and polymers is for guns. the only reason why guns used to made of wood was because they didn't have anything better at the time. In all the technical points this matches my philosophy, and most of my guns bear this out. However, wood has a nice look and feel on some guns. I think my IZ 108 looks classy in a way that it never would in plastic. for an AK 74, It would be a close call for me to say which had more of a classic look to it, bulgy Plum plastic, or bulgy beech refinished nicely. Either has a nice feel. Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Scratch 91 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 With all the pics of guys sporting wood, I thought I'd accidentally stumbled onto the Craigslist personal ads. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gregomega 929 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 With all the pics of guys sporting wood, I thought I'd accidentally stumbled onto the Craigslist personal ads. Very nice. Wanna do something like that. Might go with an S12 aswell. Yours is great!!!! is your buttstock type 1 or 2? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Scratch 91 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Might go with an S12 aswell. is your buttstock type 1 or 2? IMO it works better with an S12 than a regular AK. The stock is a little bigger than you'd normally find on an AK, which looks odd on a regular rifle, but more appropriate with the larger dimensions of the S12. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it is a PKM ("type 2") stock. I believe the older PK stock had no raised cheek piece, among other things.

I like having something different than everyone else and you've pulled it off nicely with class. AZG likes alot. Heres an example of both types: The type 2 seems to have a trap door or something in the back??? I think you're right. Type 2 look way better now that I look at the picture. Guess ill have to hold out for a type 2. type 1 is the only one currently in stock. like I have any money for it now anyway. Bitch'n S12 Mr. Scratch. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Scratch 91 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) The type 2 seems to have a trap door or something in the back??? There is a hinged plate that fits along the buttplate that flips up to a horizontal position so you have something else to brace against the top your shoulder for automatic fire. Really doesn't serve any purpose for a S12. I've had the older PK style stock as well, though not at the same time as I had the PKM stock so I can't make a direct side-by-side comparison. I do seem to remember the older style being quite a bit larger, and that seems to be borne out in the image you showed. IMO it is a bit bigger than the S12 calls for, and people would be better off using the newer "type 2" PKM stock if they want to do this.

JDeko 792 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'd be so psyched to be able to put a PKM stock on my S12 Link to post Share on other sites
