AK Stock Question

[Makarov Kid]

Anybody know how to modify a stamped receiver stock to fit on a 2 tang milled receiver? Videos and advice would be appreciated! If I am trying to do the impossible let me know!

it might be easier to buy a stock thats made to fit a Milled receiver.

What you are doing is impossible. You will not find a stamped receiver buttstock to fit a milled receiver.

Both style of receivers use different attachment methods.

You will need to buy a stock designed specifically for the milled receiver.

Look in the pic. The AK-47 stock goes at a downward angle whereas the AKM stock goes straight across. That alone makes the buttstocks totally impossible to interchange including the different methods used to attach them.

Yup, not worth the effort and it's never going to look quite right. Millsurp milled stocks can still be had pretty cheaply and for everything else there's Ironwood.

Or if he wants the modern look then go KVAR.

Awwww. I wanted to change out a few parts for a russian tiger striped stock! And there's no stamped AK's out there that I know of that are in Maryland. (Talking about a stamped Arsenal or Krebs.) Does anybody know if Ironwood would take custom wood orders or custom wood stains/finishes?

What rifle is this for?.

Ironwood will do custom anything for a price, though they are more limited on finishes. I've never asked him about a specific grain, and if you want tiger striped it might cost you. But it sounds like you have a sweet stock that you should keep for the right stamped build... and there are still tons of donor rifles out there, even if availability is slim right now. Don't rush to modify a pretty stock you might later regret altering.

Thanks everyone!

An Arsenal SLR 101-13

Thanks for the info. Might try to ask ironwood over the phone for the custom stock idea! Gonna save up money for the tiger stripe too.

In fairness, comb angle doesn't dictate fitment. All it dictates is where your face ends up in relation to the stock when you get a cheekweld.

I could sand down an AKM stock to have the same comb angle as a milled-receiver stock. It'll fit an AKM just fine.

I would look fine with this
