As a recent NPAP owner I had a bunch of questions as far as what would fit and what I was getting into with a stock mod. Despite combing the internet I couldn't find all the info and Picts I needed. So I figured for the next guy doing it these pics might help out.
First of all as I'm sure everyone knows, yugo stocks attach differently than AKM rifles, and the NPAP is even more unique because of two rivets seen here: 
I wanted to put an ace skeleton stock and an ace folding mechanism on my NPAP so I bought an Ace yugo stock adapter (AKRBY) and used a dremel to grind it down: 
It fit rather nicely, and I'm really happy with how it looks. 
My next mod is the grip, here's a quick view of the stock one off: 
I hope this helps someone out! |

Yes it does. Did the same thing with mine. The pin in my Ace hinge kept walking out though so I replaced it with a Stormwerkz.

That looks really good. I think if my m92 sells tomorrow I am going to get an N PAP instead. I was going to SBR the m92 but all the extra costs and waiting made it lose its luster.

Thanks, Redcrown. I bought a polymer stock NPAP but the comb is too high for me to see the sights. After seeing your post I got the same receiver block and made the same mod that you showed. Went with the AR buffer tube adapter since I had an extra Magpul CTR stock sitting around. What an improvement over the junk Century put on the rifle.

Yeah my NPAP came with the polymer furniture. Total crap. I couldn't get rid of that stuff fast enough.

I have the same problem with my N-PAP with the wooden stock. Comb is too high to see the sights, unless I contort my cheekweld to be at the very rear of the stock, or way forward with my nose almost touching the receiver. But with the forward cheekweld, now I'm contorted so much with the westernized length-of-pull that I'm not really shouldering the firearm correctly. What an abomination that stock is. Too bad, too, as the grain in it is very nice on mine. Probably keep the wooden stock when I do a stock switch, for possible future custom improvement. |

Yep, I put a mags worth of rounds down range then packed her up until the mods were done. But now I can't bring myself to switch out the handguard for a tacticool one because I like the grain so much. |

I also added a Hogue pistol grip that I had taken off a used AK I bought last year. The corresponding Hogue hand guard has been ordered. My expectation is that this NPAP will go from the most uncomfortable AK I've used to the most comfortable.
Updated with pic of completed mods.

That dust cover looks like it's a bit big for the receiver. I guess it's time to start cranking out 1.6s again.

Hello all. I'm new to using the web site. ( Please excuse any faux pas.) So what is the consensus on lowering the comb on the Yugo. I have an M70 and it is awful to shoot. I'm hesitating making a change as I want to run an Aimpoint H1 optic and didn't know if the higher wood stocked comb may actually work correctly with an optic. What's everyone's thoughts?

I have optics on both of my M70B1s and my M72 and the higher comb is of some benefit with optics in my experience.

And in case someone here may not know ... The O-PAP does not have those 2 rivets as shown in the N-PAP photo the OP posted ... So, grinding is not necessary if you buy an Ace yugo stock adapter (AKRBY) like the OP did, if you have an O-PAP.

If you're proficient with tools you could make an OPAP underfolder, but there are some roadblocks and it's not, I imagine, a cheap or easy process.. As for an NPAP, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to just buy an NPAP underfolder from the get go. Short answer: Yes, but.../No, except... |

Anyone know what threads the NPAP barrel has? Looking to swap muzzle devices and have heard two different sizes floating around.

Hey there everyone. I am new here and so glad I found this thread. I also have a 3rd gen N-pap and have been looking for furniture for it.
Could you all point me in the direction or site to find them. I like the collapsible stock Johnny has. And will need a hand grip. And it looks like I would need And adapter as above too. Thanks for any help |

Just look up the ace yugo adapter, ace folding mechanism and the ace ak47 stock. You're on your own for the grip, there are too many to mention, check midwest industries website for them.

I want to do this but spending 300 dollars to make my gun side folding is absurd. Regardless thanks for taking the time to photograph this

Gonna do this on mine. I dont mind recoil (I can shoot 200 rounds of 12ga in a hour and still have a smile on my face.
 )The yugo slap just plain hurts. Plus the LOP is a tad long. |

I know this is an old thread but for those that are having the cheek slap issue like me and wanted to stick with wood furniture CAI is coming out with a Warsaw Style buttstock. seen here I called customer service and asked when it will be available and the guy said around late July - early August.
