Got my first AK, a Century GP1975, over Christmas. Tapco standard stock is way too short for my 6'3" gorilla armed frame. Looking for recommendations for an inexpensive, obtainable stock with a considerably longer length of pull. I don't really care that much about looks, if a Tapco T-6 is long enough it would be just fine with me. Range toy, not go-to rifle, so I don't need to be able to break down doors by butt-stroking them. US made is preferred. If anyone has comparison pics available they would be appreciated.
Thanks Jeff |
| I used an industial. belt sander (Automotive machine shop)(be careful) and sanded the T-6 tapco stock flat. Then added a half inch piece of maple to the back and screwed on a butt pad. You could just use a thicker piece of wood and gain a couple of inches. Just a thought. |
| The rifle came with the Tapco Russian style stock. I was looking online at the KVAR NATO length stocks, but I'm not sure they would be long enough. I always found the M16A2 stock to be a bit on the short side. The Tapco sidefolder is a lot better length wise, but just feels too unstable and uncomfortable. I may just have to save my pennies until I can afford the longest stock ACE makes. |

The Command Arms stock has a long length of pull to it and it MUCH nicer that the Tapco crap. Here's a link, it's not the cheapest but it's not too bad either;

Vltor's tube with your choice mil-spec stock would be best IMO
