I purhcased a MAK 90, and I would like to switch out the thumbhole stock with a standard AK type black pistol grip http://www.gunaccessories.com/AK47-MAK90/ak002.jpg and wood stock http://www.gunaccessories.com/AK47-MAK90/ak138.jpg How difficult would this be to do, and who sells these parts the cheapest? Thank you very much. On a side note, how does the MAK-90 compare to the other AK clones out there like the SAR-1 and WASR-10? Do I have to buy a stock set designed specifically for the MAK-90, or will any AK furniture fit into the gun? Thank you, and any help will be appreciated! |
obershutze916 is definetly right, I'm partial to my Mak, but you will have to make that one 922 compliant. |

MAK90's have a thumbhole stock. If you switch to a pistol grip and stock you will have to make sure your rifle has at least 5 U.S. parts. 3 eay parts to install is a new trigger group. Like TAPCO's G2 trigger group. Takes maybe 15 minutes to install. That and an american made pistol grip and rear stock would keep you compliant. My MAK90 is worlds better than my friends WSAR-10. Shoots about the same except his trigger was much worse than mine stock. Now mine is even better with the tapco trigger. WSAR-10 looks very crude side by side with my mak90. But they function the same pretty much. BTW pretty much any ak47 stock is gonna fit your mak90. |
| I have no idea about percentages, but I do know that there were stamped recievers that got cut as well as milled, I have a stamped angle cut reciever. Some regular stocks will fit, but they look like ass and are not secure in the reciever. The best alternative I have found for a angle cut gun, is to put an underfolder on it, and just have the rear end welded up. Ironwood will fit a stock to your rifle at no extra charge, but you will have to send it to them. |
| I wish I would have known the ban was going to sunset about 3-4 months ago. I wouldn't have wasted my money on the choate dragunov stock. It is a NICEly built stock but now I am wanting a folder or a telestock and a pistol grip. Actually I want a lot of things...like a 3 rail system, bi-pod, vert grip, and a flashlight....I need a better job. |
A mak will be a bit better finish than Romanian's generally and are great Ak's..Put a US made stock set and US made trigger group and you'll have a nice AK 47..You may have to widdle and wiggle a bit to fit you're butt stock but it is easy...If you have any problems jump on here and ask..

I bought a Mak from Jicky in the EE and it is a great AK. I like it much better than the SARs my friends have. I got a Tapco folder, M249 pistol grip, and fire control group from scottgull in the EE, and got a US handgaurd set from a buddy. It was easy to do, affordable and my Mak is legal, and now 300% cooler.
