Falcon Arms
Has anyone bought one of their folding stocks for the AK? Thank you very much in advance for any information!

Decide to answer the question for myself; bought one in NATO length and installed it on a Hungarian FEG SA2000.
Good points: aluminum with steel tubes, finish is excellent, appears very well made. Very rigid lock-up when extended and I can operate the safety lever with the stock folded to the right. Comfortable check weld, good eye position, my eye is right in line with the Springfield 03A3 receiver sight I riveted to dust cover.
Bad points: a little movement when folded, about a 1/2 inch of play. I had to slightly widen the tang slot of the stock with a Dremel Tool to fit the Hungarian FEG SA 2000 tang. The stock was a very tight fit and the tang holes did not line-up perfectly with the stocks screw holes. Though the screws went in most of the way, I needed to grind down top of the front screw with a Dremel to let the recoil spring assembly fit correctly. Though I have not fired the rifle yet, I doubt the stock will loosen-up from recoil because the the tightness.
Overall I like it and have ordered a couple more for fitting to a Bulgy AK74 kit and a Romy AKM G kit I built on NoDak Spud receivers. Hopefully these will be an easier fit.

Fitted 3 more Falcon folding stocks to the following rifles:
Bulgarian AK74 kit built on an NDS-2 receiver which needed same adjustments as the Hungarian SA 2000, Romanian G kit built on an NDS-3 receiver and it needed the tang slot slightly widened, screw holes almost lined-up, hybrid .223 on a NDS-2 receiver with a Hungarian rear trunion which needed the upper part of the stock be slightly shortened where it contacted the trunion so the screw holes lined-up.
The Falcon stocks are definitely not drop-in but are very well made/finished with very tight lock-up in the open position, only one of the four was slighly loose in the folded position. If you do not mind an hour or two of fitting work these are a very nice Galil type stock for converting fixed stock AKMs and AK74s.

I have talked to myself all my life, must really be going over the edge now that I am answering myself!

LOL I know the feeling, when I get baffled by something I talk to myself and start to worry when I start holding a conversation over it.
Thanks for the pics and link.
How long is that, standard AK (forget what they call that) or NATO length?
