Hi my name is Alex and I am from Holland I need some help from the experts. I recently bought a ak47 but now i would like the change it to something like this www.clearviewinvest.com/detail.asp?product_id=005-428 On paper it is an Norinco but the simbol for the automatic mode is (Infinity) the turned 8 So my questions are : 1) Do you have enough information to determain what kind of an AK47 this is 2) Where can I buy this kind of modifcation for my Ak47 (it should be shipped to Holland) Thanx Alex Leenstra |

Those front handguards lack heat sheilds, and get very hot very fast. Wood is good, sheilded polymer is a bit better, unsheilded plastic like that is no fun at all. Short of pics mywebpages.comcast.net/jfreeman246/page_2.htm will give many good examples of Chinese AKs to help your ID goal. Changes will be easier to suggest when we know what you are starting with. |
Definitely try to find a picture of your rifle, so we can get a better idea exactly what you have. Being in Holland, you could have very different rifles than we do here in the US. First questions would be: is it a stamped receiver or a milled receiver? (a smooth or dimple in the magwell area, or a milled out "depression.") If you are wanting to mount a scope to it, I'd recommend either using the side scope rail, or if you don't have one, have a gunsmith put one on your rifle. Let us know what you've got, and we'll try to help you out. |

Are you required by your country's laws to have a thumbhole style stock on your AK? I think you would be much happier with a standard looking stock set from www.k-var.com The standard style stocks are far more comfortable to shoot with and IMHO look better. |
 www.riflestock.com/catalog_page_keyword.cfm?queries_index=search2 The Choate stocks are better quality but for heat shields in the hanguards something Bulgarian would work well. The entire Choate set is $54.45 US plus shipping but you would have to get someone to ship one to you. Post pictures of your rifle. |
I have to disagree. I once had that exact setup with the Fiberforce Stock on my MAK90. I have since changed the thumb-stock, but kept the plastic front handguards. I have not had any excessive heat problems with them (even after bump-firing a few mags in a row). I'm not crazy about the looks of the handguards, but they are very full in the hands. Which helps me since I'm a decent size guy with big hands. |

It took some time but I've got some pictures http://www.javra.nl/tmp/ak47%20-%202.jpg http://www.javra.nl/tmp/ak47%20-%201.jpg So the questions are: What kind of AK47 is this Chinese or Hungarian or other what kind of receiver is it And how can i mod it to www.clearviewinvest.com/detail.asp?product_id=005-428 Thnx I know that the pictures are extremly big but I can't help it for the moment Alex L |
Both sides are needed to be able to ID the rifle. BUT, from what you've already shown, I can safely say it's a MILLED AK-47 (full-auto) receiver. Interesting though, is that I don't see a bayonet lug on the gas block. So you'll have to find a stock set that is for a MILLED AK receiver. Most AK stock sets are for stamped receivers, and those won't work with your rifle. Here's a stock set I'd look at if you really wanted plastic.  K-VAR website www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=16192&cat=251&page=2 But personally, I'd rather have THIS stock set!  I'm not sure if any of those thumbhole/skeletonized stocks will fit on milled receivers. |
