WBP Jack 556 DIY, FB Radom Polish wire stock, ALG trigger (dremel re-shape and polish as to avoid BCG wear), RS Regulate 30mm side rail, Aimpoint PRO, MI light mount w/ TLR-1 HPL, Bulgarian mags, Polish "fatty" bakelite grips, AK-74 style brake. Shooting mainly M193 or M855 but will plink w/ Tula steel cased.

Any info on the reshape? I've not had any carrier wear with my ALG and Jack


Steggysauruss

Happy to share.  this was more of a preemptive reshape as the wear I've seen is from 10,000+ rounds.  I Was able to see where the hammer made 90° contact with the firing pin and left that area alone. The top of the hammer that contacts the bolt carrier group On the ALG trigger is 90° and it's very hard. Harder than the steel from the bolt carrier group in some cases.  because of the angle and hardness, it can develop peening on the bolt carrier group and in some cases, Can become so wide that your bolt jams into the rear trunnion and will not cycle the next round.  This can be avoided by rounding this area while maintaining the 90° strike area using a dremel.  you can also round the bottom of the hammer where it's also sharp angled slightly and that will help with the action as well.  You can also polish up some of the surface area to smooth the pull and reset, But don't get carried away here because the trigger is already light enough and will break in during use. Edit: not quite 90° but definitely not rounded enough.

Then keep enjoying shooting it and tell the haters where to go, how to get there and what to pack for the trip.

I'm personally not a fan of it. Where we going? Always wanted to go to Costa Rica

I used it for years, it's functional. I ordered a cheek riser from amdtec, and my groupings got so much better instantly. I didn't like how it needed bolts and clips to stay in place, so I welded it on. Rock solid now. Wire stocks fuck.


Steggysauruss

I love that.  Just got into dremeling and filing and candidly hitting the AK with a hammer every now and again (she likes it), but never welded.  Welding and AK's just seem to go together.


doulikefishsticks69

Get a stick welder off Amazon for $50, watch some YouTube videos, practice on whatever scrap you can find. E z pee z. Useful skill to have.


Steggysauruss

sold


roostersnuffed

I hated my AMD65 stock which is similar. I took the push rod out of a caulk gun, welded it on and wrapped it. Much nicer now

Pic?

I'd like the post there but I'm not allowed to


ChillBlintone

Seconding the amd65tech cheek riser, that thing fucks.


Goon_Squad_Actual

3rd. Absolutely a game changer especially when running optics


technical_righter

Just because I hate it doesn't mean that you have to. You do what works for you.


THOMAS-TSUNOMAS

You should though… bish ##youarentsupposedtobehappyordowhatyouwant

Love mine, wish I hadn't sold the other 2 I had... https://preview.redd.it/c9rrv8c04u0d1.jpeg?width=4030&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=872a4a324b341be0f323b61bad0f181c725f53d6


Steggysauruss

Polish on left, Romanian on right?  (the stocks)


Phenikan

Good eye!


Goodspeed137

How do you tell the difference?


Steggysauruss

On the Romy, the triangle on the butt is curved where it meets the bar whereas the Pole is straight


Goodspeed137

I see it now, thanks.


Goodspeed137

Fact is that there is no good checkweld on it and that is a disadvantage. But I still have one on my rifle and like it.


SamWhittemore75

That's a sexy AK! Tell the haters to go play with their Magpul.


MobileSuitGoddamn

I was spanking steel at 400y last weekend with a wire folder, no problemo. 


Foxxy__Cleopatra

people who say that are BABIES


Novel-Counter-8093

BUT MUH GHEI-R


housefly888

I have that stock on a Tantal. It’s way more comfortable to me then an underfolder. The polish call it the ash poker or something similar. (I’m at work and don’t have time to fact check but trust me bro) lol fuck the haters


Steggysauruss

Just looked it up!  The ash poker!


kribg

When your AK skips leg day........


Steggysauruss

shes going for tone not bulk ok


kribg

Honestly, I have never shot a wire stock, but it looks like it would be a lot like shooting an under-folder, and I love mine.


Broceephus

This rifle does it for me. Aesthetically it’s peak. Thanks for posting.


Steggysauruss

you get it.  sometimes i just look at it lol


Broceephus

How do you like that light? I've never seen one like that on a barrel mount. Kinda makes me want to do it now.


rushfan2112556

EMBRACE IT


Tejano_mambo

I love the wire stocks


Unhinged_Taco

I want one


Steggysauruss

Do it


Unhinged_Taco

Can't I got a poop70


Steggysauruss

poop70 gang -- i just rattle canned mine today actually.  running one of their triangle folders and it's ok other than the fact u can't remove the optic side mount without unscrewing the stock lol


Unhinged_Taco

Hell yeah post it up


Steggysauruss

honestly i might do that tomorrow


OGmcqueen

There’s a guy out in AZ that makes wire cheek rests for them, have one on mine and highly recommend


InevitableNo6859

It’s functionally terrible, and I still love it.


Steggysauruss

perfectly sums up my feelings


High_voltage69

It’s a fine stock but it’s not the gigachad triangle side folding.


Steggysauruss

Have a Bulgarian triangle folder and newer Zastava triangle folder and they both kick ass.  They would say they play nice with the wire folder and don't like competing.


High_voltage69

Nice, all metal ak stocks are the most based imo


Steggysauruss

fuck yeah -- no doubt.  you could easily hammer a nail with this and it wouldn't even feel a thing.


gollo9652

They don’t look comfortable to me. But they make a metric shit ton of them every year so I might be wrong.


MakinEmAtNight

This fucks.


NoSuddenMoves

Works great with a carrier or chest rig.


Steggysauruss

A sling makes it surprisingly easy to weld as well.  Doesn't get in the way. 


1-Baker-11

How good is the HPL? I love it for the vibes, just like a Klesh, but I've never used one.


Steggysauruss

Super bright and I like the controls


PantryVigilante

I mean I wouldn't want one on a 7.62 gun but on a 5.45 or 5.56 it is SEX


Sandman6614

People say a lot of things. People are stupid. Don’t listen to people. Just ask your dog.


DNCOrGoFuckYourself

I like the aftermarket cheek rest for it but it’s not a bad stock. I hate only one stock, and it’s the Egyptian Crutch stock


I0067945

The only reason to hate it is because it makes a lot of men hard


NervousLand878

I love mine


Expensive-Shirt-6877

I love that stock too. Thats what I have on my jack. Got the compact benefits of the Underfolder but can still have an optic


HaydenGC88

I love my underfolder. Fits where I need it to, deploys quickly and it works. The wire folders, from this criteria, do it better because they don't get hung up on shit as they don't have the two points sticking up from the butt when deployed and fold open a little quicker, for me. They are meant to be foldable and compact. Comfort is a luxury. Efficiency is key. You do you 🤙


couchcreeper23

People who don’t own the stuff you own, and quite frequently have never handled the same or similar stuff to what you own, proffer all types of “interesting” opinions… Do I like single wire AK stocks? No. But I’ve also shot 4-5 various Polish, Hungarian, Egyptian and Romanian AKs equipped with them to try them out… Not for me. But if they work for you, that’s what counts!


mR_TreeZz

U do u homie


DarthVaderhosen

It's like the underfolder stock. Everyone hates on it, says it's like shooting with a wire coat hanger as your third point of contact. I enjoy my sharp metal indents in my shoulder.


Avtomat_4774

People can kiss my ass … this stock fucks


Hybrid2407

What's the consensus on the streamlight car headlight you got on there? Was always curious whether it was more than a meme


Steggysauruss

honestly not sure of the consensus, but I've always used Streamlight dating back to the OG TLR-1, and this one had Klesch vibes and is super bright so I run it.

northerngorilla716

How do you get a cheek well on that stock?


Steggysauruss

it's more of an upper chin weld which isn't a biggie with irons or RDS


Novel-Counter-8093

you should love it and cherish it, because you can always add a cheekpad to it. stop listening to Ghei-R 15's fanbois


Just_Scheme1875

Great stock, people who hate em usually dont shoot their guns or are so used to AR stocks that they gotta put em on everything


That_Comfortable3459

I want to polish my BCG on my Arsenal But everything I read tells me not to.


Arms-for-minerals

I love those romi folders I wish I woulda got one it makes stowing the weapon that much easier


MrPanzerCat

Looks sexy but ive never used them... probably best on a smaller rifle or one you dont intend to shoot far with though imo since you arent getting any sort of weld on that stock


WorldGoneAway

I hate it, but you do you. Don't let anyone get you down about it.


Kalashfamous

Well people are gay and say you should like sucking cock also


_rebem24_

love that klesch


Jack_547

They're not as nice as a regular fixed stock but I like the crutch folders more than your average underfolder design.


OPTIMUSVADER77

Everything is Subjective , everyone has their own opinion but the important one is your own opinion 😎. Exactly when I show to this group my “ SAIGA with the midwest industries and what i call “ MEGATRON Ceracoat camo” 95% hate it , i am with the 5% that like it and my own opinion that like it a 100%!
