Is it possible to buy a folding stock AK and then a seperate fixed stock to swap out if I wanted to? I have never messed with AK's very much... Thank you, CSP |

That depends on the folding stock. Some attach to the standard rear stock tang. Some use a different one. For instance, a Romanian side folding stock and an East German side folding stock use the standard rear stock tang. Those can be swapped for a fixed stock. Underfolders use a different receiver and stock attachment block. Swapping those for a fixed stock is impractical. |
+1 Romanian, East German, and :::shudders:::  Tapco folders use the same mount as the standard AK stock. With Bulgarian or AMD type sidefolders and well as underfolders, it's a no go. With a comfortable sidefolder like the "triangle" folder or especially the AK-100 series folder, I see no advantage to a solid stock. They're just as comfortable.  |
Now that I think about it some of the ACE folders MAY attach to the standard stock tang, but I'm not sure about that. |
You've obviously never owned or seen a Romy or EG side folder. Both are direct replacements for the wood stock. I replaced a wood stock with a Romy folder in about 5 minutes.

You're right, I've never owned a Romy or EG side folder, but do own Bulgy underfolders and triangle side folders. But hey, if I'm wrong then I'm wrong. Thanks for the correction. |
And I was pretty sure that triangle folders used a different stock block but I wasn't sure because I never owned one. Now I know for sure. Thanks for the information. |
