Since the AK guys are here, is there any way to put a Magpul Zhukov on a Mak-90. I know that it will be frowned on, but I just hate the thumbhole stock and love everything else about it.
As with most things ak, it will require some fitting.
Always the salesman LOL
Lmao
AK purists crack me up! I did a “ride along” with OMON in Moscow. All those guys are veterans, and most are former Spetsnatz. They were all using some version of the AK-74, and they had a lot of leeway in how they had them set up.
Every AK I saw in their hands had some sort of RDS and flashlight on it. All had slings and very few ran the military-style sling.
Every single one had an “aftermarket” stock/PG/handguard on it. Stocks with adjustable LOP were the norm. Them boys work in a wide array of temperatures, so it makes sense to have an adjustable stock to make up for variances in clothing layers and body armor.
You know what I didn’t see on a single gun? Wood. Not a wood stock or handguard to be seen. I don’t remember seeing Bakelite either......maybe in some magazines.
American AK owners tend to have a lot of purists in their ranks, while the actual Russians running the guns for a living most definitely are NOT. It’s an interesting dichotomy. I think I trust the real Russkies on this one.

I appreciate both, my user guns are all set up more modern, my collectable guns are left original. Though my arsenals are going up in value if odt listing are anything to go by.
