Given the way that the AK's buttstock is attached, how do underfolder stocks mount to the receiver?  The ones I've seen look like they go straight though the rear of the receiver, through the area where the wood stock inserts.  How does an underfolder attach, does it leave a big open space at the rear of the receiver, and is it hard to do?

I'm thinking my SAR-1 will turn into an underfolder in mid-September.

The underfolder pivot mechanism does go thru the rear of the receiver.

Although they look wicked as hell when they are folded, they are uncomfortable to shoot with your jaw laying on the metal underfolder stock.  Really rattles your teeth.

By all means get an underfolder, but also have another AK (Full Buttstock) for comfortable shooting.

That's about the only reason I want one.  Hell, I bought the SAR-1 just for bump-firing, so I might as well look good.  

Thanks for the info.

One issue you may have with your SAR-1 is that you will have holes where the original rivets were. They will be covered by the underfolding stock assembly itself, however.

For a Romanian SAR1,you may want to consider a Romanian side folder.The Romy side folder mounts right up to your existing rear trunnion and is true to the Romanian AK variant.

Anybody know if anyone is going to make an Underfolder if we make it to Sept.?

Arsenal of Bulgaria has not one, but two underfolders listed on their website, with pictures!

Needless to say, they look sweet!

Oh, and as for a folder on the SAR-1, just get the Romanian side-folder. I picked one up and put it away for September 14, 2004, 12:01AM and then I will pop it on. Might send the rifle away to get the muzzle threaded and a new gas block with bayonet lug put on. Definately doing the barrel up though
