Posted: 4/30/2012 7:18:59 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Okay so I got my first AK(Mak 90) and have caught the bug! Anyway, I want to get rid of the crap thumb hole stock and convert it back to p/g style. Question is, I want to put on IWD T56 stock set but I'm a EBR guy and am also thinking k-var furniture. What are the benefits to each? Will I gain more value of the AK with IWD furniture over k-var?

From what I understand is that it would need 5US parts put on a Mak 90 to make it 922r compliant. An IWD or k-var stock set counts as 3US parts then I would either use a tapco mag or a G2 fcg to make up for the other compliant parts. I just can't decide which stock set I want.

Posted: 5/3/2012 9:21:47 PM [Last Edit: 5/3/2012 9:23:08 PM by clange] I despise US made parts on mags, so IWD or kvar stock set plus a G2. I have AKs with both wood and polymer. I'm more of a polymer guy. It seems like anything with wood on it ends up being a babied safe queen while I actually drag around the all black stuff. A MAK-90 with nicely finished IWD stuff would definitely fetch a higher price though.

I like the extra stock length and the recoil pad. No complaints. I also really enjoyed the fitting and finishing, getting the wood and personalizing the finish is cool.

I like IWD but.... I like the MI new handguards with the modular rails; but they would look "off" withe a nice wood stock I think. Thoughts and info please.
