 Im wanting to find a stock like the one shown above. If anyone is skilled with wood and is interested in making one from a previous stock or scratch I would be very interested in buying or trading for it. I have plans on taking one made from wood and using it to make one out of plastic. Let me know what you guys think. |

I see you are putting this in motion!!! I also think its a great idea! And you should make it in two colors: Black and Plum! One more thing, what kind of material would it be when molded into plastic? Dragunov US made kind or hollow AK plastic stock kind? lol Robo.

| it might work to try and use a stock from a MAK 90 or a Maadi thumb hole stock, if you look at the length it is definately longer that a regular stock...a stock from a SAR 1 would not work due to the cleaning kit compartment, it would severely weaken the but area, I somewhere have a MAK 90 thumb hole stock I might take a pic and doctor it up with photo shop to see if it would work, it would be a lot of sanding though |

I'm not sure what you're looking for here. Do you just want that shape in wood so you can transfer it to plastic? Or does it need to be a functioning buttstock that will match up to a trunnion and all? If I was interested in doing this, could it be out of any wood that I had laying around? Could I do it with plywood, making a laminate? Is that some sort of shelf inside the hollowed out area? Maybe to reinforce it? Would you want it finished or not? How much money are we talking about? ETA: I did this forearm for a friend. Fitting it inside the receiver and the front cap was a bear. ETA2: Found a better picture. I made the pistol grip for the same friend:  The pistol grip is blocky and thick but I was afraid to get it too thin and have it break. It replaced some weird plastic grip that was literally falling apart. What you can't see is that the grip had to be cut to fit around a spring that ran down the back of the mag housing. It was a lot of Dremel work. |

That stock looks cool. What kind of ak is that? The rivets on the rear block look like where they are on a Yugo. Also it looks like that may be a bolt holding it on to the rear block through the end of the stock. I haven't seen that variation before, you are on to something Duke. |
| I think I found a guy who is interested he has a site and make Thompson stocks but has made some Ak ones as well going by the pictures on his site ThompsonStocks.com he does some nice work. I believe that is a Yugo Ak of some kind but I dont really know anything about it there is a post in the Ak general discussion on it. I cant say for sure if I can make a synthetic one or not but either way I would have a sexy looking wood one. |
I did notice the webbed area and thought that it was on the left side. Now you got me wondering if it is ambidextrious(centered), since I am a lefty. |

Sounds like there is one of what you want in the EE 59. Z_recto custom AK stockset. 3 USA made parts (4 pieces total), laminated wood. This set was made for me. he does not make them any more. The buttstock is a laminated triangle shape (like a krinkov but wood) and has side sling mount cut out already for standard buttsock sling loop. Grip is a thin laminated AKm Pattern, handguards are made of 3 pieces of laminated wood (like real ones and are AKM/74 pattern. The upper handguard is laminated and is made from a bent piece of wood just like the real ones $90 ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=123&t=275714 |

go through this thread, it is a Rim fire site mainly 10/22 in this section but some talk about how they "skeletonized"(sp) there factory stock's Skeletonized Stocks |

Quoted: I have detailed images of one of these rifles - Iraqi 'Tabuk' - otherwise it is a Yugo-pattern, RPK receivered AK with windage adjustable rear sight - even has Yugo-type grip. Weird, huh? Here's a better look: OODA_Loop, thanks for the pic, do you have a pic of the other side of that stock that you may post? What does 'Tabuk' mean? |
Big plus one any additional info would be great. |
