I bought a 'new to me' M70 right after Christmas and finally took it to the range today.  

Very sweet.  I fired several AK's while in the Army, but to have one that isn't beat to shit is nice.  Now I understand why you guys are so passionate.  

Question:  I am a lefty and have wrapped both sides of the folding stock in paracord.  Wrapping the right side makes it impossible to move the Fire Selection Lever when the under folder is, um under folded.  Anyone have suggestions (Other than the obvious 1) be a man and ditch the paracord or 2) reduce the tab on the lever).

Sorry no pics today.

Congrats. I've never had the trouble some have with the cheek on the stock. I've only put about 350rds downrange with mine, but after two 120rd sessions I have no discomfort. I think, ergonomically, some folks must line up different to cause discomfort.

or, wrap it in two sections leaving out the slot where the selector lever moves. just an idea. IDK cause i'm a righty. but glad you like it.

Not sure what you're after, whether it be some material (like the paracord) to keep your cheek off the metal or an actual cheek rest, but Samson makes a cheek rest for underfolders.  I have no actual experience with the product, but Samson makes very high quality gear.

Just wrap the front portion of the right stock strut.

I now feel completely internet stooooopid.  That makes perfect sense.

If you want to see how a para cord cheek rest should be done, I would suggest you check this website out.

Congrats on the new rifle! I agree with the suggestion to wrap it in two sections. Either way... Enjoy that new AK. I love my Yugo underfolder.
