| I am considering the ACE Galil style side folderfor my MAK-90 and looking for pics and opinions from others who have one of the ACE AK stocks. |

MAK 90 with ACE folder as requested http://www.barnesengineering.com/GnPics1/AK_Ang01.jpg http://www.barnesengineering.com/GnPics1/AK_frnt.jpg you have to modify the trunion block that they give you though |
yes, but u can get 3 different legths for that stock system: short medium and long. this version is the medium length. all come with a removeable buttpad that adds approx 1" |
  Owning one, I would recommend you not buy an Ace folding stock. I've lock tited the screws on 2 different occasions and they still keep coming loose. The mechanism is a bitch to fold. In the open position it is a very stable shooting platform but folding it as I said before is a pita. I think I'm going to get a another fulsize kvar stock for it and be done with it. |
 That is exactly what I'm looking for, except with the shorter model stock without the foam. Please, which model stock, block, etc, is that? |
| Yes, I have visited the ACE site before, but have found it to be less than informative. It appears that I need the internal block for the folder that fits flush with the reciever. What type of modification is needed to install this unit? Do the internal and external blocks both use the same stocks? |
Very nice. That looks similar to my MAK, but I have the Tapco folder on it right now. |
Badass ... |
That stock is the middle length one with a half inch rubber pad on the end. I put the foam on myself so its not something you'll have to take off when you get it. As for the hinge mechanism and reciever block they are a one size fits all deal. My reciever block is the one though that you must cut the tang off in the back to use it. No big deal though. |
that is sexy looking. where did you get that lower handguard from. i want one. |

Yep, they both use the same stocks. To use the flush mounted receiver block, just saw off the tang flush with the back edge of your receiver. Stock, plus folding mechanism, plas receiver block will run you about $160 total, but in my opinion, it's the best aftermarket folder for the AK anywhere. It's stronger than a Galil and weighs hardly anything. Wyn |
They are built very good no doubt. I bought a second one a couple months ago and notice its a little hard to fold like drobs said. I didnt have time to trouble shoot it but it shouldnt be a big deal to fix. I would imagine if you were having a problem they would fix it for free. I will buy from them again especially when they get the AR bullpup kit done

where did u find the mag for your shotgun? |

 On a rifle, I imagine it'd be quite nice. On a 12ga shotgun, not so much.  I've removed the folding latch from mine, so I can mount the stock lower and access the iron sights. without some kind of a pad or paracord wrap over the tube, it's pretty brutal on the cheek.
