THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Anyone know where to get one of these "thumbhole" type foregrips for a MAK 90..?

Do they even exist for a MAK..?










Thanx.

Sir - with your inventive nature, I am sure, were they not made, you could.......and PM me if you do. just sayin'.

All seriousness - maybe airsoft?

This was a paki made one of a kind thing the only place to get them for Krinks is air soft and they've never been made for full size aks
If you have wood skills you can try making one out of a Romanian dong grip
You could also contact ironwood designs and see if they would make it

HK, I had not thought of the "Airsoft" angle...Thank you for that lead..

Just for fun and curiosity, I checked some Airsoft offerings and found this from a company called "CYMA". The CYMA Airsoft AKMSU is a 1:1 replica, supposedly ( although it doesn't look like a Krink / AKMSU )





Well, i did some quick & dirty dimension estimates ( as seen on my monitor) comparing relative lengths of the CYMA forward thumbhole grip to its 30rd Magazine, where The length of the lower handgrip equals approx : 2.75 of the Magazine width. < I focused on the Magazine as a baseline because that is an element in common to all AKs >

Then transposed these dimension comparatives to a pic of my rifle, and found that the ratios apparently match closely enough to warrant further consideration...

Airsoft guns use a very thin tab to secure the lower to the receiver.

The hand guards can be found separately at several Hong Kong vendors. Gunnerairsoft is the best.
