thanks for the review.
i agree, the buttstock is THE definition of 'ugly', imo. |

I've got big hands and the SAW grip is what I've been looking for for a long time. The stock grips are like holding a broom stick. I'm very happy with mine, I just wish they figured a more secure way to mount them. I wonder how long that piece will stay wedged inside. I thread-locked mine and it's staying put for now.

Concur.
The Tapco M-249 grip radically alters the ergonomics of the Kalasnikov for the better. Kind of like comparing the feel of a 1911 to a Tokarev. I, by the way, have very small hands. (Save the anatomical referrences, guys. I've heard them all.) SD |

Both of them are just plain FUGLY! YMMV

The saw looks a lot more comfortable than the sickly peasant grip though. |

I have one too. Love it.
It is buch wider/larger around that the little skinny AK grip. |

I forgot to mention that the SAW grip has a trapdoor...which is perfect for a small bottle of Break-Free...so now you got the cleaning rod, cleaning kit in the buttstock and the juice!

What don't you like about it? For those of us who haven't seen one. |

I was very skeptical at first, but I will admit that I really like my AK SAW grip. It gives my AK a "better" feel to it when shouldered. I was concerned with it coming loose after looking at the mechanics of the thing, but it has stayed tight for the last 5 months while rolling around in the back of my SUV. It's seen a fair share of abuse.

I just got my laminated SAR1 a few weeks ago and I love it. It actually has a pretty good trigger in it and the mag release isn't stiff like the one on my SAR2 which is primarily why I sold that one. Anyway, I've considered the SAW grip from Tapco. I think it would be an improvement over the skinny grip by far. Someone use to make a replacement stock that looked like a paratrooper FAL folding stock for the AK. It didn't fold but had a longer length of pull and looked awesome. Does anyone remember these and are they still available? Thanks...

The stock is from ace, they also carry a nice choice of pistol grips for the AK as well.
My personal favorites are the FAL style and the AR style from ultimak. |

I have some AKs with the Ergo grip, like a G3/CETME grip without the thumbshelf.

The grip is actually a FAL SAW grip modified by Tapco to fit the AK series. It includes a shorter screw and a block of aluminum with a hole through it. To install the grip, the aluminum block is used as a wedge to keep the screw in place in the grip. My concern was the grip might become loose after recoil because the wedge could loosen inside. I thread-locked the screw and it's still rock solid after 300 rounds. |
