I ordered a stock maybe 2 months ago. Took about a month to arrive, but it's pretty nice.

I like the Magpul Zhukov stock for an inexpensive folding and collapsible stock with QD socket. They aren't bad on the eyes on the Saiga-12.

Chris Bonesteel here.
We are running pretty far behind at the moment, but have recently tripled production to try and keep up with demand, wait times are a little high, but are slowly coming down. |

Good to hear it, thanks. Just placed an order.
For some stupid reason I am not capable of thinking past one issue at a time on this Saiga. As soon as I fix one little part something else immediately jumps out needing attention. |

I have three Bonesteel folders. They are good to go.

Yeah I’ve heard they are excellent from many sources. I just don’t want to wait a month or more to receive it. Probably have corona zombies by then,
 Currently it has the fab defense recoil absorbing M4 style adapter. It was on clearance. Seemed like a good idea but it was described as a mil spec size. No normal stocks I have will install over it without excessive force. Like mortaring off the floor repeatedly to close it level of force. Even commercial spec stocks. The only stock that will fit is the fab defense recoil absorbing stock. So it has almost two inches of bounce like a freaking pogo stick. |

Bonesteel is great.
Also check CNC Warrior and Atlantic Firearms. They might have it in stock. |

I ordered mine a few years ago. I ordered them at different times for different rifles. Each time their website gave a reasonably accurate description of the wait times expected. I did have to wait a couple of weeks to receive each one. They were worth the wait.

@obiwanbonjovi
Do you email tracking info when items ship? Just want to make sure I don’t miss it and it posted a couple weeks ago. Apparently I didn’t create an account and cannot check on your site. |

The account system on my website is a joke, never has worked, but i am unable to get rid of it, without an entirely new system. I apologize for that.
Yes, you will get an email with tracking when item ships. Still running considerably behind, but starting to get caught up now. Have a huge shipment of parts coming in tomorrow, that will go a very long way in getting us caught up. |

So please do any business you need to do via IM's, not forum posts. I see you were called here (which should have been an IM) but you should diffidently answer with an IM in the future. Thanks. |

Have a Bonesteel M4 on my AES-10B. It broke one rubber mallet installing. It's very solid and fantastic.

Thanks for all the reviews. If it wasn’t top quality I wouldn’t put it on a defensive weapon. That was never in doubt. All I actually wanted to know if the post I linked was accurate. Seems like it is. Carolina Shooters has had it in stock since late March. And when I look they rub my face in it with more helpful reminders.
Jerks.  Looks like I’ll be waiting over a month for it for ordering straight from the inventor. Ironic but at maybe it supports him better. Maybe it comes with a sticker or is even a better product somehow. He isn’t allowed to reply now so it would be a real jerk move to imply otherwise when he cannot even respond.Sorry for getting you called out Chris. I’m excited to use the stock. Even if it doesn’t come with a sticker. |

It arrived today. Who’s sexy now?
 Fit perfectly. A little snug with no fitting required.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Hsimpson, that's nice! Very sexy AK.
I'm a huge fan of the Bonesteel/CNC Warrior stocks. They are really stout and easy to use/install. I've had these three on my Saigas for a few years now, and have two more on order to SBR my AK-V and AK-P. Hopefully, I'll get them by the time my Form 1 goes through.    |

Nice. That plum is gorgeous! All I ever saw was the Zhukov stocks. Painted? Coated?

Chris Bonesteel is good to go. I felt the same way when I first saw the site. But that guy is putting all his creative juices on products. Quality stuff. He is quite active on several forums and not hard to get a hold of.

I’d like to get one of these stocks for my WASR. How difficult is it to fire the weapon and operate the controls with the stock folded to the right?
Awesome pics, all y’all, btw. Those stocks DO look sexy Thanks. |

With right hand fold basically it’s impossible to manipulate the selector. And some left hand folders won’t clear the optic rail. The Bonesteel with wide left fold doesn’t impede anything except folding to the completely locked forward position with optic or drum mag. You can still fold it to shorten it for stowing compactly but it would be flopping around.
If you want to fold the right and have it operable the East German or Romanian wire stock would be better. Not great but better. It kinda sucks for cheekweld so they get wrapped in paracord. |

I was going to buy one of those wire stocks from Desert Fox Sales, but they’re out of stock at the moment. The Bonesteel is a very nice unit and its made here, so that’s the direction I’d like to go. And I do intend to mount an optic, most likely a red dot. Cheers |

Even though it might be more awkward to shoot with it folded (and honestly how likely is it that you will need to do that?) I like the right hand fold better and this is one reason why I prefer these stocks to the Russian style side folders even though the Russian triangles are very sexy. For one, I use the side rail on every AK that has one. RS Regulate mounts live on my AKs and the left side fold doesn't work well with side rail mounts. I also shoot a lot out doors in the woods is a sling is like a holster for my rifle. I like to fold the stock when I'm slinging the rifle. It makes it more compact. With the right fold, I can unfold the stock right in front of me while it's slung. It's also more comfortable with the stock on the outside rather than between me and the rifle. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dmk0210: So I'm holding my AK with the Galil style right now. With the stock folded to the right, I can get to the selector by pushing it down behind the stock with my thumb. That's not a problem, the stock doesn't latch closed, so it just moves out of the way. As far as charging the weapon. I use my thumb again. I can wrap my fingers around the top bar of the stock to pull it a little bit away from the rifle.

Thank you for your post. And I agree, its unlikely I’ll be firing the weapon while the stock is folded. On the other hand, its good to have the ability to do so, just in case. Like you, I would like to keep it as compact as possible while carrying it and keep the side rail usable at the same time. Cheers. |

I agree. It looks like Desert Fox has them back in stock, I just might get one after all in addition to the order I placed with Chris yesterday. |
