the k-var polymer will fit. the lower handguard requires some fitting, and using hbarski's cool 'keeper' (the bulgarian/russian retainers are slightly different from the hungarian akm retainer). it's really no big deal...simple hand tools and 15 minutes will have it installed.
call ultimak and see if their mount fits. i can see no reason why it wouldn't, but dropping a dime is the safest bet, here. |

LastDefender- I am looking for a full set to alter as a project in a strange and different stain, something unique, like grey or or a deep red. I still have the orginal BLonde that came on mine cuz I like that "It's looks like a commie tommy gun" response. The black or green polymer definitely elicits a wholly cool response as well.

reason it wont fit some sa85's is because alot if not most of the post 89 rifles were built from amd-65 kits and as such have a very short gas tube on them. if yours has a standard length gas tube, dont worry about it. it will fit. if you have the short gas tube you are SOL

I have two post-ban SA85s. The K-var furniture works fine. Some fitting required on the handguard, but no biggie. The Hungarian trigger is actually not bad, but the RSA trigger IS better. I'd go with the RSA trigger no mattter what.

Actually, there are fewer of the short-tubed models than the regular length. They simply ran out of regular parts and began using some AMD parts towards the END of post-ban SA-85M production. |

I recently acquired an SA85 and I beleive it has a long gas tube. I am no AK expert by any means, but the upper hand gaurds are interchangable between my SAR1 and the SA85. I do not know when the Hungarian was built nut it sems to be a post 94 gun.

Both of my post-bans (S/N SM 170xx and SM 083xx) have the standard length gas tube.
GoGo, if you're interested in buying my Hngarian thumbhole furniture, IM me. I have the set off of one of mine, and I have no use for it. Ross |

According to Ultimak, the standard gas tube is approximately 7 inches. Mine measured out exactly that....
