semper299 284 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Also they are now releasing the steel reinforced AK mags. $26.95 IIRC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er_eVvdGnKk&feature=player_detailpage Edited January 14, 2015 by Semper299 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SGL 530 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Meh.... I do like that they paid homage to the triangle stock with the MOE but that folding stock looks atrocious and the hand guard looks like someone stuck their 870 fore-end on there like Fitty% Tactical (forum member).That is a good starting price for the reinforced mags. Of course I'll let others play guinea pig with them and watch the price come down some more while I keep stocking up on surplus mags. What I really hope is that Arsenal is forced to drop the prices on Circle 10's back down to that level so I can pick up some more of them.

pyzik 597 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I am looking forward to trying their folding stock.I love my Beryl stock but it's more than lacking in the comfort column.I don't think it looks too bad. I'm glad it doesn't look just like a MOE or CTR or other AR stock.As for the handguard, it's Magpul. They look like every other Magpul handguard and I'm okay with that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Juggernaut 11,054 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Look! another aftermarket company comes late to the party... Magpul makes decent stuff... but nothing "revolutionary" here... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sjgusmc21 850 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Stocks are ok...handguard, nothing new. But it won't be going on my AK. When the metal reinforced mags come out, might get a couple, just because. I do however, love the ad. That was great. Edited January 15, 2015 by sjgusmc21 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I love the MagPul STR stock on my 7.62x39. The stocks look good to me, might have to try one out. Their handguards have never really thrilled me, but I liked my buddy's on his AR for its tactile feel/grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dayofruin 425 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I like the longer hand guard and folding stock. The short hand guard doesn't thrill me for some reason, but I like the 870. Folding stock looks great and I'll be getting one. I don't like the triangle stock... I doesn't look proportional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuRrEaLNJ 182 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) The fixed stock caught my eye right away as my plan is a rd adapter and magpul fcs currently (note I'm in nj). Upon looking at it thought it appears the stock is below being inline with the barrel, wouldn't that make it less of an improvement? The long forend definitely has my interest though. Was going to go with a MI extended as I want a long forend, but this will probably be a perfect lighter option as I probably won't need anymore ability for attachment then the magpul one needs anyway. Do we have any details on price or eta on availability?

gunfun 3,931 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Looks comfortable. The classic '74 stuff is more aesthetically pleasing, but I am sure I would like using a rifle with this on it. Particularly the long forend, if it is rigid enough to mount a QD bipod on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thelosticon 17 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thelosticon. What's up with the magazine in your gun? 0.o its my own coupled design, im in a high cap ban state. they are 2 15 round tapcos, well 10 round tapcos to be exact with a shortened follower. End result is a 30 round magazine that is the same size as a 30 round but only 15 are fed continuously 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thelosticon 17 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 What adhesive did you use to couple the mags? No adhesive, theres an internal coupler that I make out of an injected molded thermalpolymer that gets four roll pins through both mag bodies, and then a jb mix on top to fill the gap between the ribs, topped off with an epoxy grit spray and duracoat. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Rifle looks great, and nice job on the mag design. How's it do while shooting? Any rounds jar loose and come out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redrum4u 125 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 That's what I love about this place. Nice mag 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I did buy the Magpul grip for my Saiga(improvement over standard AK grip) and a few Gen1 mags for the range. Only other change I may make is the CTR stock with a riser for using the scope. I say may because I have an Ironwood stock set on the way I'm going to try to do in Russian Red.

Inspector 12 37 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Wish they had announced these new forearms a month ago before I finally gave up and settled for Tapco forearms on my Saiga conversions. I like the magpul moe forearms on my ARs and would have been glad to buy a couple for my AKs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's barely any play after the 15th round is in, just enough slack to insert mag on a closed bolt, never had any drop out even from prone Edited January 19, 2015 by thelosticon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimdigriz 580 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) The folding stock has the potential to be better than any other folding stock for the AK. (At least for my needs). It does not block the trigger (like another I tried recently), it can collapse shorter than the Romanian folders, and looks to have a good cheek weld. Price looks good too.

GregM1 241 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 i like the fact the folder has the hinge built on. most american folders have to have 2 or 3 pieces to work. interested to see their version of plum also. might go with the black stock on my 223. about to refurniture the whole gun to lighten the load.
