AK-47 Folding Stock Mod and Installation Project For WASR MAK SSR Saiga Rifles and Shotguns - Part 6

In this video series I will modify a fixed, polymer Bulgarian AK-47 stock and a laminated wood Romanian AK-47 stock to become two side-folding stocks! Based on an exciting discussion on the Saiga-12.com fora, this project features wood, plastic, metal, and two different kinds of epoxy.

In the sixth and, so far, final chapter I show off the finished product and reflect upon the project. Some range footage and still photos of both stocks are also included.

Thanks for watching this series of videos. Please feel free to comment, post questions, or check out my other videos!

That music is just scary. That's the only word I can use to describe it. In my opinion you should have the wood stock on the SSR and the Bulgy synthetic on the Norinco. It works just as well either way, obviously, but I like how they look better when they match!

@LifeisGood762 Scary? It's straight-up 1920s-esque merriment! Unless you're talking about the sting under the title card, which is a little ominous. Just kidding! I do try to eschew overly dramatic or hard driving background music in an effort to avoid looking more pretentious than I already am.

Both the original and replacement stocks I used on the SSR were black, so Bulgy seemed appropriate, and the OD Tapco stock I used would have matched the Norinco even better.

great videos...haha...that fudd behind you was giving you evil looks when you were shooting with the stock folded....thanks for the 85C conversion videos it helped make a decision about buying that rifle...

@ckrockets I get more than a few weird looks when I'm recording videos. That's why I like going to the range when it's cold!

Thanks for watching and the kind words!
