Hey Gang,  I know next to nothing about AK's But have decided I Need one..  I am considering one of the Polish Tantals that are floating around everywhere as a start, But do not care for the side folding stock/ What needs to be done to replace the side folder with a standard wood or plastic stock?  Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

ps   Tried the Search but Failed..

Try this. Not a polish, but a goos place to start.

While the Tantals were/can be nice, you need to exercise caution with the current ones.

First, unless YOU buy the kit* and have it built, it's just like all the other kit guns:  who knows what's in it and even though you don't pay a lot, you may not even get what you pay for.  It will have a ? receiver.

Second, if you are going the kit gun route, make sure it has an original barrel; original barrels are no longer imported so if it doesn't have an original barrel it has a ? barrel to go with the ? receiver.

Third, one of the unique features of the Tantal is the thing you want to remove:  the wire side folder.  If that's the case, why bother?  Get a different AK variant that has what you DO like on it.

*Parts kits with original barrels are pretty rare now.
