See, I have a Polish AK74 underfolder kit that I'd like to build up on my Global Trades receiver. But, I already have a pretty bitchin' Norinco 86S underfolder in .223. As much as I love underfolders, I feel that a little variety would be just the spice my life needs, so I maybe want to put a sidefolder on my 74.
So, then what are my options?
Tapco's "Galil-style"?
ACE?
Uh. I remember seeing in a back issue of Shotgun News a long while ago those triangle-shaped paratrooper stocks. Any sources on these?
ACE's web page doesn't really say how one goes about installing their stocks. Clicking around shows that they sell a receiver block ("cut the dang tang!" ACE's web page helpfully informs us. Real useful info, guys), a skeleton stock (that being said, I sort of have an affinity for their "Boom Tube" SMG stock) but no hinges or anything.
So, AK board, hit me with your knowledge. Should I build my 74 as an underfolder or a sidefolder and save the underfolding stock for a future project?
How do I install the ACE stocks?
Are the Tapco stocks really not worth the plastic they're pooed out of?
Where can I get those rad para stocks and do I need to modify my receiver?
Keep in mind that I still have a bare, uncut, undrilled receiver.
