Do they serve any purpose? Were they on Polish underolders when built in Poland originally? Why is DCI no longer making receivers without the reinforcement plate? Thanks |

yes they do serve a purpose if you over tighten the pistol grip screw slightly without a plate the top rails have a habit of coming together causing the bolt carrier to stick.
with the plate you can tighten the pistol grip normally and not bend your receiver. Dont ask how I learned this I am still undergoing therapy for that one. |

if your rec it treated correct there shouldnt be any way to pull the rails in with the pg screw
i dont know if they are orig on the pol uf's or not i do know they are orig on sidefolders cause you remove alot of the rec to make room for the rear trunnion and it stops the rec from flexing but an uf there is no need the uf makes the rec stronger not weaker |

Sorry, I disagree. If the rifle is being fired with the stock folded, all the recoil is being absorbed by the PG. That's quite a bit of loading on one little T-nut and 1mm of material. I doubt Mikhail added anything to the AK "just for looks" |

Screw it, I'm going to weld one on. I agree with socandyman, it probably isn't necessary, but it will take me less than 5 minutes to weld one on.
I don't see how overtightening a pistol grip can cause the receiver rails to bend, I would imagine the PG would have to be ridiculously overtightened for that to happen. Thanks for input guys. |

Do not get one from ORF. Mine was too short, and I have seen others that have stated the same thing. They may or may not have corrected this, but I would go to another vendor...AK-builder or Tantle.

There are more than a few AK pistols out there. Any one with a pistol have trouble due to the lack of a reinforcing plate? |

My AMD-65 pistol build has more than a few rounds through it with absolutely no issues, and it doesn't have a reinforcement plate on it. I do have an extra reinforcement plate that I was going to use on my Polish underfolder if anybody needs one. |
