Another AK related question I believe didn't deserve a new thread.

Are there any folding stocks that fit on the TM style AK lower? I saw a couple folding stocks for $40+, and it would be a shame to buy it and it not work.

Turns out I got an older dboys/cyma that is a clone of the TM version.

My AK has the two metal tabs where the screws go into and a middle hollow "square".



I'm looking at:

Nope. AKS74U front assemblies are completely different from that of all other AK's. You want to look for an AK104/105 front end.

That rail you linked will fit though.

I believe that is referring to the side scope rail on the receiver.

I am sorry if I am being an ass right now, but seriaously: Learn to read.
The quoted sentence goes like this

There is an integrated scope rail on the receiver which accomodates all AK-specific optics/accessories

Please try to read and understand the whole sentence.

And about the parts:
Yes, they WILL fit, once you do some milling, drilling and sanding. Out of the box they are NOT compatible.
The reason for this is the fact, that the AKSU sight has no gas tube stump on the back, while the 105 version has this. So the SU front sight has to be positioned more backward. The only problem with this is the fact, that the outer barrel gets thicker just behind the gas block, so the front sight can not go back enough.

It is a major modification, as you will need to cut, mill, drill sand and refinish the outer barrel. Not to mention the fact, that you will have to cut new threads into the end, as on these AK-s the threads are part of the outer barrel and not the sight. It is not worth the effort IMHO, especially if you need to pay someone huge bucks to do it.

Update. I just want to know if one of the stocks above fit, or where I can find a metal folding stock.

[Lord Merlin]

You should be able to fit the second one after a lot of filing and sanding and (maybe) a few modifications on the stock itself.

There are no side folding receivers for the TM AK-47 line, except for a Cyma AK-104/AK-74S line, and even if they made any it wouldn't do you much good, as the TM style receiver is usually pot-metal.

The only folding stocks that are TM AK-47 compatible are the under-folder and the one that looks like an M4 side folder. The side folder goes on a fixed stock receiver, while the under-folder has it's own separate receiver.
