Can the Arsenal SAM-7R with the NATO buttstock accept a side folding stock easily? Or does something need to be cut or added to the rear trunion?
Still an AK newbie, but getting better...... Thanks, |

Quoted:
Which side folder? Most folders are for stamped receivers and the SAM-7 is milled if I remember correctly. They can probably be made to work but you had better have access to a machine shop. BSW This one .....http://arsenalinc.com/sam7sfc.htm And its off a milled receiver. I have no machine shop, but would hope a good AK smith could do the work... |

That Bulgarian side-folding stock that you see on the Arsenal SAM-7SF and SAM-7SFC will not fit on a standard SAM-7, SAM-7S, or SAM-7R without some modification. You would have to remove at least the lower stock tang, and probably the upper tang too. Plus, Arsenal AK's with that Bulgarian side-folding stock have specially milled receivers to hold the latch on the right-hand side, where the stock locks when it is folded. Look at the picture closely. There is a special latch in the right-hand side lightening cut.
Where have you found a stock like that for sale? |
