i need help, i got a mak-90 from a glocktalk member and its a great ak but it has what i assume to be a romanian wire-type folder on it which i hate!! also it appears it took some filing on the folder just to make it fit. now its tight and works perfectly but i want to put some of that sweet plum colored furniture on it...question is how to make it a fixed stock again? thanks for your help as always. wayne,,

You should be able to remove the folder with the 2 screws
on top. You could sell it for @ $40-50 ,then get your plum set.
You will need to do a tad of filing on the plum set as well.
I hope it's a square cut receiver!!!!
Good luck

just remove the screws. fine cept there are no screws it seems to be part of the rear trunnion. the assembly goes into the rear of the receiver and is riveted in. this is my first AK variant so excuse my lack of knowledge in this area. thanks wayne

Sounds more like an AMD-65 folder on her.
Got a pic of the gun?
If the rear trunion is a "folding one",
you have a little work ahead of you.
Can you tell what is printed on the receiver?
Does it say MAK 90?
Want to help you out,just sounds like you have
a "Franken build" now.
Can you see any rear trunion holes that were
welded up?
Don't know what others will say,but now
I'm scratching my head.
Try to get a pic. You know a pic is worth a
1000 words.

more please excuse the hairy knee

Looks like you just need to pull the "allen head" screws
and you should be good to go.
You have two of them,one at the very rear of the trunion,on top,
and one under the recoil spring(you must remove spring to get at it)
inside the receiver. Think you will need a 5mm allen wrench to remove them.
After seeing the pic's you can add a full lenght stock without
much work.
Order your plum set and let me know how much you want for the folder.
:banana:

i was starting to worry. i will let you know when the plum goodness shows up, so you can get the folder. i don't know why you would but each to their own, it smacks me in the face everytime i shoot it. but my eyes are bad and i hunker down pretty far on it. i think a nato length stock will help. thanks again.

I know what you mean about the folder. You can work with it.
Take some 1/2" fuel line,slit it,and put it over the folder.
Now your face is on something softer then steel.
For me it's lenght of pull. My arms are to long for the short stuff.
But,they are fun folded.
If you do sell,can I get first bite?
Hope everything works for you.
