There is no good reason for you not to come out with somekind of AK pistol grip or AK MOE handguards. It seems almost all aftermarket AK hand guards(K-VAR ,etc) need trimmed in some way or the other so let me knock that excuse out right away and if U.S Palm can get Tango down to make a grip that fits all AK's I know Magpul can do this. Bottom line it would be nice to have a Magpul grip and some Moe handguards to add a Flashlight and foregrip and have piece of mind that it is made buy Magpul. I do not need a full set of MI rails for my gun nor do I want some cheap plastic foreign made gear I would just like us guys to have some great polymer pieces made in the U.S.A.

Problem with Handguards is that there are too many different sizes with different manufacturers of AK's.

AR15 grips mounted with adapters on AKs look like crap IMO. I still say we need Magpul AK products...
10/30/2011 10:06:41 PM
Purpose built grip with no adapter. All aftermarket handguards seem to need trimmed. Guess you don't own many AK's

You gotta admit that an AK grip is way overdue.

Does it make you feel like shopping at a company that makes what you want, vs. what you need, instead of the other way around?
11/2/2011 5:32:34 PM
I've said for a while now they need to start an AK line of products. If they never do there is always tapcrapo 
11/2/2011 7:39:12 PM
I, honestly, hope they don't make AK stuff. I just bought a us palm grip, mags and a MI rail for my Draco. If Magpul made a moe rail and a grip, I'd have to do it all over again. However, I'd be real happy if I could get a good polymer mag for less than $30.

I'd pay ~$50 for good ones. I'd prefer less, but I'd still pay it.

Alright, here is my opinion on Magpul and AK products. This has been on my mind for a while, but for some reason, I haven't posted it.
A product that would actually fill an un-filled niche in the market would be an AK stock that provides a decent cheek weld with side-mounted Russian optics.
I would pick up a PK-AS or a Cobra in a second if it wasn't for the fact that I wouldn't be able to get a good cheek weld with the standard stock. It doesn't have to be too fancy. A set of detachable inserts would be great.
AK grips would be almost pointless, since Hogue and US Palm already make very nice ones. I also can't think of much of anything that a MOE forend would bring to the table that the standard forend does not already offer.
So yeah, a properly designed stock could provide a legitimate ergonomic enhancement. Just as long as it isn't too bulky.

The forend would offer a foregrip and flashlight option for us that do not want that useless rail on top of our handguards. The hogue grip is titanic which leave the only the default us palm grip. A MOE AK line would be awesome!!!

Well let's face facts shall we? There is nothing wrong with a standard AK grip. In fact, Troy now makes an AK "styled" grip for the AR15. So it's a matter of style and comfort, and while adding a standard MOE grip to an AK may add some degree of style, it is still not designed for the AK platform. So what are your priorities? Replacing an existing part that needs not to be changed with a part from an entirely different weapon system just to "MAGPUL" your gun out? Give me a break buddy, wait till they produce the correct part.

Whatever works for you dude, I advocate that Magpul should produce parts for the much loved AK weapon system, and if you don't agree with that then keep putting the wrong parts from different guns on your AK. Oh and I'm not going to argue my point any further because trying to win an internet fight is like punching a tree...it's stupid. So 1,000 internets to you pal.

Your the one that jumped him for having an opinion. Then again for explaining his resoning. It's not his fault you can't except the fact that wome people would rather have parts made specifically for thier application vs. adapting them.

So it's a matter of style and comfort, and while adding a standard MOE grip to an AK may add some degree of style, it is still not designed for the AK platform. (You're misinterpreting the use of the word "style" here. Accessories are styled certain ways to make them more comfortable and more effective, not to look cooler. Troy made the CQB grip to give you a higher, tighter grip. I have one for my 7.5" AR, and it's uncomfortable. If you look around, it's not very popular. Want to guess why? For the same reasons people dislike the stock AK grip: Too thin, too short.) So what are your priorities? Replacing an existing part that needs not to be changed with a part from an entirely different weapon system just to "MAGPUL" your gun out? (another incorrect assumption) Give me a break buddy, wait till they produce the correct part.

That was some of the poorest reasoning I've ever read. You're swinging from assumption to assumption like Tarzan.
Whatever works for you dude, I advocate that Magpul should produce parts for the much loved AK weapon system, and if you don't agree with that then keep putting the wrong parts from different guns on your AK. Oh and I'm not going to argue my point any further because trying to win an internet fight is like punching a tree...it's stupid. So 1,000 internets to you pal.
I never said anything of the sort. You're deliberately misunderstanding my post. Whatever, dude.
Your You're the one that jumped him for having an opinion. Then again for explaining his resoning. It's not his fault you can't except accept the fact that wome some people would rather have parts made specifically for thier their application vs. adapting them.
I merely remarked on the fact that his comment appeared to make an argument for aesthetic appeal rather than function.
His "explanation" was convoluted and absurd.
I'm all for purpose-built parts, provided they work properly and aren't just for show. Magpul has never had that mindset, so I see no issue here. You fellas need to calm down.

MD ARMS Molot grip for the AK. Nuff said.
The S12 mags would be a GOLD MINE though.

MOE+ sized and styled grip, purpose made for the AK, would sell phenomenally well. A purpose made BUTTSTOCK for the AK with a riser option for Russian side-mounted optics would also be awesome. Likewise, I think we all know how an AK mag by Magpul would sell (although I'd advise MP to look at recent polymer AK mags to see what they did right and did wrong... I'm looking at you Palm/Tango Down). They're easy and universal for AKs that accept fixed stocks.
I'm not sure what to suggest about handguards. Too many AK front ends to make a simplified AK-hanguard product line.

Yeah I'm talking about their polymer based products. Magpul would sweep the market.

I would like to see a Magpul fixed buttstock that will accept the MOE cheek risers and has a 1/4'' rubber buttpad. The stock needs to be in line with the barrel, unlike the conventional downward AK stocks.
I would also like to see polymer grips and handguards.

11/26/2011 2:29:08 PM
No doubt that if MAGPUL put out AK furniture it would be good. Some like the AK as it is, and that's fine. However, after shooting and collecting them for twenty years, I can say that I really dislike the grips and stocks, and if anyone could improve upon that, I would think that would be MAGPUL.
11/27/2011 10:57:15 AM
A UBR style stock would probably do very well on an AK. You'd get a higher cheek weld and adjustability as well. A purpose built line of grips would do very well. Getting rid of the adapters would be great because they would likely be a failure point if there was one. I'd definitely buy a couple MagPul AK mags if they made them but it is really hard to compete with $8-10 steel AK mags that are darn reliable. I think they could adapt the MOE handguards to the AK with some work. I'd love to have the adaptability of the MOE line as well as the ergonomics. I think a line for the AK would sell well but I don't know how big the market is when you're looking at doubling the cost of the base rifle with MagPul additions. The AK world seems to shun modern enhancements and favor the old school approach much of the time.

I think a magpul ak grip would be something i would like because like someone said earlier stock ak grips suck and it would be nice to have that familiar feel when i go from my ak to my ar the rifles are different completely so a similar grip would be nice.
11/28/2011 4:48:24 AM
I've spent $180 on Palm grips for my AKs, because to me they're the most comfortable grips available that don't ruin the lines of the rifle. I would probably replace them with MagPul grips if they would feel the same as my ARs and still look like they belong.
11/28/2011 11:16:47 AM
The palm grip feels good down low, but it drives my hand up into the receiver. It needs a bigger 'heel' up top to position the web of my hand correctly. On an AR, half of the heel is on the lower receiver, so an AR grip lacks the proper contour in this area as well.
What I need is a MOE with most of the web support intact, with a little more plastic on the front to index it to the trigger guard, and increase the pull slightly.

I'm with you on this one. I have long ass fingers and have to run the largest pistol grip that I can find. Thanks to the MOE grip I have no problems "most" of the time. I would love a longer pull grip for the AK as well.
I need to get the US palm and give it a go soon. Hate the CI plastic squared off grip.

I would like to see some Magpul AK grips, handguards, a fixed stock, UBR-ish collapsible stock, ACR-ish folding stock, and mags.
1/20/2012 6:49:10 PM
I've always wondered why a company called "mag" pul doesn't offer more "mags" - this is a market rife with crap and they have done so well for 556 and 308 - calibers like 7.63x39 in the ar would become common place very quickly, were it not for the very poor quality of what is on the market. At least with the ak there is the bulgy mags which are very good already.
Of course these may not have been possible before but it looks like they are adding to the list of materials there are working with in.

Do you even know how they got their start? Original Magpuls and the M93 stock. They started off making accessories, not magazines.

realize the truth hurts, but those are the facts.
They like moving large volumes, not individual orders.
It would be a waste of RnD $$$.to releases something like that for only the civilian market.
