Tapco T6 stock

[chevrofreak]

Are these any good? Are they durable, rigid?

Looks pretty decent, so I'm thinking about ordering one anyway.

Hold on for a dog gone minute chevrofreak, a member posted here once saying it's a POS.

[chevrofreak]

Yeah I'm holding. I'm trying to get Michigun to sell me his AK-74 stock ;f

[chevrofreak]

BTW, Michigun if you read this CLEAN OUT YOUR FRIGGIN PM BOXES!! ;f

I put a T6 on my Bushmaster, it works fine, durable and strong and is $40 less than Bushmaster. I know this is the AK forum, but it's the same stock.

[chevrofreak]

Isnt the recoil spring tube on the AR stock metal rather than polymer though?

[chevrofreak]

I got my Tapco T6 today, very solid stock, I'm impressed. Rather than trimming it to fit my thicker reciever I just gave it a good whack to drive it in, its in there as solid as can be now. Here's a pic of my rifle with the stock and a recently purchased, yet already broken Aimpoint clone.

I'm really liking this stock.

[smile_at_u90012]

more power to u all..seriously.

[chevrofreak]

What? This is a very well built stock!

[brent3098]

I've got one on mine with a buttpad and love it.

[NevadaPistolero]

You all should be ashamed of your selves...AR parts on a AK...that just isnt right. Go buy an AR if you really must but for gods sake leave those AKs alone.

[smile_at_u90012]

Oh man, this is what make this country so great,we can do what we want as long as not breaking the law, i have a M16 A2 pistol grip for my mak-90 and it really makes a different.

[bobby_w]

I have almost finished "Blackening" my WASR-10. The only thing left is to mount my RedDot optics and SAWS grip.

I don't think there is anything wrong with updating any rifle. It's not like these AK's are some kind of collectible.

[bobby_w]

chevrofreak;

I finally got my Tapco CAR stock and Tapco front handgrip intalled. I put it off until today so that I could tear the AK down completely and once and for all get all the cosmoline out of it. I used 2 cans of brake cleaner and then oiled it up with WalterGA's Mobile 1. It looks great and everything runs smooth as glass.

Highly recommended.

[chevrofreak]

It really is a great stock isnt it? :)

The one thing I dislike is the slope it has, but the original AK stocks had that slope to it as well. A nice straight stock that was level with the top of the receiver would look better.

[chevrofreak]

BTW, most recent pic of the gun.

Chev,

That is exactly what I want to do to my new AK. Can you clue me in as to all the parts (other than the T6) and where they came from?

[chevrofreak]

I got the T6 from Gunbroker quite a bit cheaper than from Tapco (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=32336891)

The pistol grip is one of these http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=123&t=237163 that I misted with Duplicolor truckbed lining

The mount is an UltiMAK M2-B which is meant for the chinese rifles that have holes in the gas tube. www.ultimak.com

The sight is a Hakko Tacpoint 1, with a B-Square 30mm low ring. I got the sight on gunsamerica.com from globeprec@sbcglobal.net for under $90 shipped

The forend is a Choate purchased from UltiMAK

The flip up caps on the sight are a Butler Creek 07 and 02a, but the 05 may fit better than the 07.

The safety I modded myself. http://glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=380406

[DDGator]

Thanks for all the info!

[fnfalman]

I really don't see the point of putting a collapsible stock on an AK. They did it on the M16 because they had no choice. That collapsible design will never be as strong as a one-piece side-folder or underfolder.

BTW, Chevrofreak, the Hakko already broke on you? I thought that it's suppose to be good stuff?!!

[chevrofreak]

No, the Hakko hasn't broken yet. The power knob is slightly wobbly but I tried tearing it off and it wont budge. The one I had before the hakko didnt even survive long enough to actually have the gun fire with it on ;Q

Turning the windage adjustment broke something loose inside and the power knob fell completely out in my hand the next time I turned it. The body of that one was rock solid and probably twice as heavy as the Hakko, but the 5 year old they had putting it together didn't do a very good job with the wiring....

It's really too bad, as sturdy as the body was, with decent guts it could have actually rivaled Aimpoint methinks.

[chevrofreak]

Added something new to the T6 stock.

Just need to figure out how to build a comfortable sling to use with it.
