AK Underfolder to Side folder

[razorV23]

Anyone seen or used this yet? It's from CAA, I know it's not a side folder but looks good.

They look nice but to me they're uncomfortable. Plus there's zero cheek weld.

CAA is....mediocre quality at best.

Sadly, it's the only option for a lotta stuff.

I stay away.

I hear ya. But I'm stuck between the UF and an AR upper right now, one of them has to go. I'd rather have the AK over the AR upper if I can make the UF more comfortable to shoot but on the other hand I perfer the AR platform, but most of them have feeding issues.

Bottom line-if you dont plan on leaving MD anytime soon you're going to have to suck it up and live with the underfolder.

Get a '74-style brake for it (make sure you get one for 7.62 rifles, threaded 14x1LH) and try that first. They actually *REALLY* work on reducing felt recoil.

I have one I'd be willing to let you borrow if you want. If it works, you can give me mine back and then get your own for about 20 bucks.

I have one on my triangle folder 7.62 gun, and it's quite nice.


There are also some other comps/brakes out there for the AK rifles that are supposed to be very effective as well, but the 74-style is the only one with which I have personal experience (and have readily available to loan temporarily to see if it'll work for you). the ak forum (add a .net to those three words put together) has more info on those models.

Appreicate the offer, I'll be in contact if I decide to go that route.

This!

Out of all the AKs: a traditional stock is the best (form, fit, & function), underfolders are just another anchor point on the body, while folding stocks are a good comprimose..

yea, and try shooting one in very cold weather. Don't put your tongue on an underfolder stock

it doesn't get cold enough in maryland to worry about.

and before anyone gets all whiny and says "garrett county", first take a moment to reach down, make sure you still have testicles, and remember you're talking to a native iowan who hunts regularly in iowa, western nebraska, and south dakota. garrett county might as well be hawaii.


i have yet to wear more than a hooded sweatshirt when I go out.....when i'm in uniform, I *MIGHT* have a waffle shirt on under my ABU's. but even that's a *BIG* maybe.
