I don't have the answer to your question but I wonder if a fixed stock AK can be converted to an underfolder and if it is worth it to do it.

I have a Polish AKMS (Underfolder) parts kit that I've had for like 4 years now. I need to get that fucker built soon.

Yugo underfolders are pretty nice. The WASR 10/63UF (should actually be labeled a 10/65 to be historically correct as they made no AKM underfolders before then) uses a tube instead of the "C-shaped" stock arms most of the others use. I had some trouble with the safety when the stock was folded on mine until I bent it back a little with pliers. Arsenal makes a (presumably nice) underfolder but I have never gotten to handle or shoot one so no opinion there.

Underfolders are sexier, but side-folders are easier to use.

i have a yugo underfolder:
and it is one of my favorites. replaced the plastic stuff on it with wood from ironwood designs. It needs some kind of heat shield though, the wood handguards become amazingly hot after ~100 rounds or so. not shown in the pic is the samson cheek rest, i've been looking for some spare wood to make that match the look too. before that, i had the underfolder wrapped in paracord to make the cheek weld a little softer. |

Not a great photo, but this is mine. I bought it in the fall of '05 "lightly" used.
According to the markings, it's a 'mutt' with mostly Hungarian parts. Someone on the AK side told me I have an AK barrel and front sight, but the rest is AKM. Beats me. I just know I love it.

I bought a Century Polish. The gun is 100% in every way, shot it in at 100 and never touched the sights.
I don't like it though. That damn stock about jars my teeth loose. My AMD is the same way. I prefere the good old Warsaw stocks.

Cool looks aside. You are going to get more longevity out of a side folder (Triangular or wire) vs. the under folder. The under folder design was borrowed from the German WWII 9mm sub gun not intermediate rifle round like the 7.62x39mm. Head over to the ak forum and look for posts on "How do I tighten up my under folder?".

Here are my uf's.
The top is a yugo and the bottom is a rommy md-63. The rommy isn't very common both were built from kits. I prefer a uf to the side folders the side fold stocks are always too short and give terrible sight pictures.

Under folders look cool but very much suck when it's cold. What is the usual crappy and uncomfortable cheek weld becomes face is frozen to stock weld.

One of the few guns I've sold. Polish PMKMS parts build. Both it and the part kits I had were top notch quality wise. I miss looking at and finger-banging it, but I didn't care much for
shooting it. I much prefer the fixed stock or side folder. |

I've had Romanian side-folders, and a Yugo. Loved the Yugo, hated the Romy side-folder. It just didn't feel like anything was there at all.
