Quoted: Nuts, I guess since I am a newbie here I can not post the pictures of it before and after. New rule that recently went into effect. Something like you need to have at least 100 posts to post pics, or something like that. If you like, you can e-mail me the pics and I'll host em and post em for you. Either that or send me the links to the pics and I can use them also. |

Did you sand down the top of the stock (comb?) only or did you also reduce the length of the stock?

Sure would like to see those pics... I'm getting a NPAP tomorrow.
Going to rasp and sand the high comb on mine, but this rifle is coming with a skeletonized buttstock with a Krebs adaptor, and a Mojo peep sight. |

Liquidmetal above here is going to help me attach photos. I used a bandsaw and cut the comb out or sort of moved it back. I did not shorten the stock itself as the overall length was fine. I did post the photos at AKForum.net, here http://www.theakforum.net/forums/30-yugoslavian/174764-cut-stock-my-n-pap-fits-perfect-now.html

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well that didn't work, I can't see the pics. ;( Fixed. Apparently hot-linking from the AK Forum isn't as easy as it seems. I could see them, but maybe it was just because I was logged in over there. I hosted the pics myself and re-posted them. |

God job, pdog. Have you shot it since the mod?

To be honest, the shape looks a little funny but super functional. I was handling a wood stock Yugo today and I understand why you moved it back like you did.
The finish looks great BTW! |

Yes, it feels real good. If I get bored later, I may cut the other one but not quite as much. The first one here really fits me good though and can get down on the sights easy.

Are the Npap stocks the same length as a regular ak stock? And after doing this would you say its possible to cut one to akm length and add a regular ak buttplate(no cleaning kit)?

I really cant say, I was a private contractor in Iraq all of 2006 but my memory says this NPAP stock is a bit longer than the Russian AK's I had.

FWIW, I had my hands on both a Yugo and WASR and the Yugo stock is altogether bigger... including longer.
Not sure what they were thinking when the designed that Yugo stock. Maybe the assumed the shooter would be using optics only - no iron sights? |

It took about 5 minutes on a belt sander and another 15 using various grits of sand paper for final shaping and finishing to get the comb of the stock where I wanted it.
Used a stain that was close to original color and sealed with true oil. I can now get my face down on the sights better.... with no cheek slap when shooting. This is an easy mod, that would be hard to screw up. [youtube]  [/youtube]

Just bought and shot an m70 today and it tends to smack me in the cheek bone. Very distracting. I'm going to have to do something similar.
Did you think about shortening the stock as well? Maybe i've been shooting adjustable stocks too long but the length of pull seems a bit much.

Are there any other aftermarket stocks that are traditional yet inexpensive and comfortable that will work?

Quote HistoryQuoted:

You have three choices for wood: 1) modify the stock you have, 2) pick up a surplus M76 stock (price varies), or 3) get a repro M76 stock from somewhere like Ironwood designs ($100+). A surplus M70 stock is slightly narrower, and with a lower comb, than an NPAP stock. It's a small difference but, for some, a significant one. They also happen to be pretty cheap at this moment, so even if it isn't comfortable enough you could modify it without losing sleep if you screw it up. LOP would be roughly the same. A skeletonized metal stock would give you more comfort and wouldn't look terribly nontraditional. |

Here is a picture of a Hungarian Kassnar SA85M stock above my O-pap to show the differance in size. I would almost like to go with the same size and shape as the Kassnar stock for my O-pap  " />
Note; I still have the Kassnar but with a crutch folder on it at this time |
