AK-47 M4 STOCK ADAPTER Reviews & Ratings

Jim Fuller and Rifle Dynamics have wanted to bring this stock adapter to market for a long time. Earl Pittman of IWC got involved and helped refine Fuller’s design to bring this project home. The Rifle Dynamics adapter offers the somewhat unique feature of allowing the use of an AR-15 end plate and different sling set-ups. This feature allows many different sling-mounting options for the individual users. Any sling adapter that fits on the AR buffer tube should work like the MagPul ASAP. This adapter is easy to install without modification to the AK with no need to cut off the stock tang, as it fits inside the adapter and tube.

SPECS: Aluminum construction, matte black anodized finish. Fits stamped AK47/74 receivers with rear tang. Will not fit: Milled receiver, Chinese guns , PSL, Vepr, Yugo, any side/under folder stocked rifle, any receiver with stock tang removed.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Ergonomics & Design

The design is praised for raising the stock in alignment with optics, enhancing the shooting experience for users who prefer modern sights.

YES, IT REALLY DOES FIT!

I was skeptical that this would go on a Saiga .410 without a lot of effort. I was absolutely wrong. I expected it to have exterior dimension problems creating snag points or odd edges. I was absolutely wrong. I added a few thousands in brass shims between the rear trunion and the adapter, and used SS washers in place of the Delrin washers which were included, but these changes were unnecessary. It is an installation breeze, looks great, and is rock-solid. I intend to convert other AK/Saigas to this M4 system, which is much superior to other designs.

Would give more than 5 stars

-Fits DDI Stamped ak-47s -Compatible with voltor buffer tubes -Raises the stock more in line with the barrel (recoil control) -Easy to install (uses metric allen wrenches) -Rock solid stability (provided you use thread locker, blue preferred)

Rock solid

I installed this on my saiga AK47 and it was rock solid on. I would recommend this item to other people who wants to convert there AK to a t6 style stock.

Very cool product

I got one of these for my tantal. its a 2 piece bracket. attaching it is a piece of cake. and then all you need is to attach a buffer tube buffer plate and castle nut. it works with all kinds of AR goodies like sling attachment plates and you can even use a rifle buffer and a solid stock on it as well. if you want AR stocks on your AK this allows you any stock you want as long as you have the right buffer tube.
