AK knowledge and help

What would you recommend?

Wait for the hate to rain down on me .

The magpul fixed stock has a rubber butt pad. It's pretty comfy , and solid enough if you install right and leave it alone. Besides that I personally like the triangle style.

The threaded 74 style brake from tapco, with detent, seems to be up in price or out of stock right now.
I thought they were $10-15 , but I see them at $30 now

I think that stock looks pretty cool and that's the brake I was also looking at. Either that or the Fighter brake that AK Operators recommends on his YouTube channel.

Sorry, just looking for something to reduce recoil. I have a WASR.

What about a rubber buttstock pad?

I had to do some fitment to the rubber pad but it makes the LOP a bit longer so it is more comfortable to shoot for my WASR-10.

It's 14x1 LH

That is what we call pertinent information.

I saw that one looks good. It does say somewhere about not good fit with newer Wasr. Don't know what OP has kinda hard to help. I like how that one has the cleaning kit hole. Some are a slip over pad that dont have that access.

What do you folks think of the DDI AKMs that came out of Knoxville, TN ( If I remember correctly), before they were sold to Palmetto? I have one and absolutely love it. It runs like a beast and I haven't had any issues yet.

To be fair, the only other AK platform rifles/pistols I have owned and shot much were WASRs and a kick arse M92pap pistol...(my fav)
I'm working on learning more about the platform and really enjoy shooting them. Next on the block will be casting my own bullets and reloading for them.

My WASR 10 with the BD2 and an Fab Defense M4 stock. @Daytona14 just to give you an idea

DDI arms were doing good for AK because they were Waffen Works at one point and they were horrible… the problem with DDI was if I recall correctly they were not Spec rifles, so if you bought something you couldn't just get a replacement part… QC was not good except for the coating they used for the receiver etc

I don't know about this rifle being spec. I have only swapped out the stock thus far. I guess we'll see moving forward, but so far, I love it. I did hear some horror stories about peening on the rear of the bolt, but I haven't had any issues yet in a couple thousand rounds.

I have 2 of those ar style tube conversion stocks.
Only reason I don't endorse is they aren't AKish enough. Otherwise it is very serviceable

I too prefer the "COLD WAR" configuration AK's styles.

I'm not opposed to them but I don't have a problem with little modernization…

Supposedly this also helps reduce felt recoil. I never tried it.
