it's just my opinion...i think they offer a poor cheeck weld. i rate the 'shootability' factor as 'poor'. of all the many ak buttstock styles, i rate the amd as the worst and the east german/hungarian as next worst.

they look pretty nice and if one were a paratrooper or mechanized infantry soldier, they would probably be a very nice option.

in the real wotld of shooting holes in paper, plinking at steel plates. etc., i feel there are better choices.

the best feature about them is, indeed, the very low cost of buying one. you may just want to ignore what i've written and try one for yourself. even if you bum out on it, you certainly could sell it fast for $25...right?
