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

Installation & Fit

Ergonomics & Design

60%

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

Nice but Harware issue

Overall this is a great piece, could use the shims cut down a to get better fit. HOWEVER, they either shipped the wrong hardware to mount the block or drilled the block for the wrong thread, which the latter is what I am assuming. I had some screws so not all is lost, but a bit disappointing, for a piece that is not cheap. It is a great design and works well. It would be better if you didn't need a stock plate, and there was a detent to keep the rotation correct, and then add a QD connection on the back.

Almost 5 Stars

Nice adapter. Great conceptually. Little puzzled why the receiver portion isn't flush with the rear of the receiver and has to be shimmed with plastic washers which doesn't seem like a good solution. Why not extend it to fit flush or provide a shim with more bearing surface if that isn't possible? One piece would be awesome! Anyway, a nicely machined part that is the only one of its kind that I am aware of and will do it for me even if I have to develop my own shim.

Solid Adapter

Nicely machined piece and I have this mounted on my Romanian AK-74 with a Magpul CTR stock. It gives you a great height to use a scope or red dot but is too high to get a good picture on your iron sights and that is why I only gave four stars. If you don't plan on using optics go with the Vltor. If you do plan on using optics buy the Rifle Dynamics adapter.
