Want to upgrade one of my AKs. All 6 are standard without any mods. 4 are Yugo one is an SLR95 (milled w threaded barrel) and the other is a Izhmash. All are in 762x39
I want to take the best one (Izhmash) and make it more functional by adding an Aimpoint, one of my IR lasers (I have 3rd gen NODS) and a folding stock. Unfortunately, I'm not up to date on the latest and greatest AK items. What mods should I make to it? I'm thinking of the following; MagPul Zhukov folding stock Troy extended battle rail MI AKSM top rail

How much do you want to spend?
How complicated or simple? Magnified optic or red dot, or both? For a simple red dot, Ultimak is pretty hard to beat. This an inexpensive solution as well 
Way way way more pricey, but ZenitCo has the best HG and optic mount design available B10 HG +B33 topcover is my personal favorite 
B30 and B31 HG's give you long real estate if you need it 
Expensive also, but by far the best US side mount is the RS Regulate

I was thinking of a magpul zukov but that stock looks better |

It's the ZenitCo PT-1 stock, but you will need an actual 4.5mm or 5.5mm folding trunnion installed on your rifle. The PT-1 will not fit a fixed trunnion receiver. The magpul will be fine though, and no gunsmithing required
http://russianoptics.net/zenit.html If price is no object then the ZenitCo setup will do what you need and have plenty of rail space. You won't need a side mount for an optic either. Check out the link for more details. |

Seems like it might change the elevation when you take the top cover off? What about the foregrip? I was thinking of a troy long foregrip |

The topcover is hinged and does not come off unless you intentionally take B33 apart from B10. In my use so far it has held zero regardless of how many times it opens or closes. It secures tighter than an AKSU cover and is actually somewhat tricky to open
No comment on the vertical grips, I don't use them Z |
