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.

Ergonomics & Design

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

Mostly fit my MAK90, but not really...

Ingenious design and I'm looking to use a holo instead of the iron sights so I want the (AR style) stock to be a bit higher. That and I'm looking to make my old MAK90 922(r) compliant so I figured I'd go with this design. Great concept and I'm sure it works for others but the screw holes on my MAK90 do not line up. One or the other, not both. The square base plug fits tight-ish into the opening so with the one screw it stays pretty solid. The plug didn't sit deep enough into the receiver so the screw was ever so slightly off center and the plastic washers stuck out too far to allow a flush fit. The block is light aluminum so I'm not going to try and muscle the screws in either. A couple of spare washers, a metal tie strap for the second hole and a lot of thread locker later it was on and tight - so far. Bottom line, would I put my life on the line with this product or take it deep into the wilderness? Not a chance. Will I jury rig the fit and take it to the local range? Sure, why not. I'd love to see this made out of stronger metal and blued instead of painted (the black scratches off very easily).
