I want to run a forward grip on my ak as far back on the rail system as it goes. This would make mag changes impossible with a regular grip, so I was looking into a stubby, like the tangodown one. I would rather not spend $60 on a grip that goes on a UTG rail system.

Any alternatives that anyone knows will let the mag clear it? It's for a 5.45 ak not a 7.62, so the mags are a lot straighter.

Or alternatively, if anyone knows of a shorter, fixed stock option for the AK, that would work too.

I think that CAA makes a stubby grip that is almost identical to the tango down one.  i seem to remember seeing one advertised in the new products section of a shotgun news last month.

Yeah, the CAA is pretty short, I don't think it's TD stubby short, but it's short.

You might be able to cut down one of another make (if it's not the type that has the clamp screw that goes all the way through) if you're so inclined.

The Romanian dong-style handgaurd with VFG should work fine, too, but of course you'd have to remove the rail system.



LOL @ "turdferguson".


Alex Trebek: "Apparently Burt Reynolds has changed his name to Turd Ferguson."
Burt Reynolds: "Yeah, Turd Ferguson, it's a funny name."

........

*Burt Reynolds buzzes in*

Alex Trebek: "Burt Reynolds?"
Burt Reynolds: "Uh, that's not my name."
Alex Trebek: "Okay, Turd Ferguson?"
Burt Reynolds: "Yeah what do you want?"
Alex Trebek: "You buzzed in."
Burt Reynolds: "No, I didn't."
Alex Trebek: "Yes you did."
Burt Reynolds: "Yeah, well that's your opinion."
