Was this a California or a post-ban AK? It appears to have been built to specifically take a thumbhole or dragunov style stock. Did it used to be a single stack?
Ahh, just read back through the thread... Bulgarian, odd trunnion, bolt in the white. It's one of the Bulgarian sporter rifles that were imported. It's actually a pretty good rifle short of the stock issue. They were all imported as a single stack if I remember correctly, but importers and end users would cut the receiver for standard double stack magazines.
You'll need to replace the rear trunnion to do anything with it. You can do pretty much anything you want, stock wise, and the work isn't difficult to do.
They aren't too hard to install with hand tools, but I know the price sucks. You could save some funds up and buy the AKbuilder copy. A steady hand with a demel could put one in.
Yeah I have tremors. Steady ain't happening lol. I'd have to figure out how to add a butt pad or something to increase the length of pull probably. I have a hard time shouldering short stocks. My bicep flexes when I bring the rifle up and then it hovers in front of my shoulder lol, that's not enough to make me get the slip in want to be version though
That's the strangest trunnion I've ever seen. I guess it's easier to drill out those two small rivets holding the side plates, the rear one looks to be a standard long rivet. Drill press and a dremel are your friends right now lol.
