| I was looking at a Wasr underfolder today at work, & I'm wondering who makes the folding stock. It seems to be milled & has no rivets. The inside of the arms are circular, except on the right arm where the cutout for the safety lever is. I know these guns can't be a folder to enter the country, so Century could add these parts from any country, however I like the look of this folder, so I want to find this exact one & need to know the country of origin. Thanks for any help. GARY N4KVE |

It's just the type that was used on the early milled AKS-47's. Some countries kept using these and never transitioned to the later AKMS style that is stamped and extends straight back.
China, Bulgaria, Romania, and Russia all used folder like this at one time or another. Heres one, just needs a trunion: https://www.apexgunparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/21_91/products_id/929 |

They are not milled though, but are made of what appears to be steel tubing, with the right side strut "crushed" flat for a short section, to clear the safety selector. |
