New Arsenal Inc AK - Fixed Underfolder in SGN

Stu · Mar 18, 2004

anyone see the latest SGN? Arsenal Inc is selling limited edition AKs with fixed underfolders....100 with bulgy black and 200 with wood (blond?) and (thankfully) a plain 'ole muzzle nut...I hate the fishgill brakes on their other rifles

wonder how hard it will be to cut the welds to fold the stock (Hopefully this sep). Moreover....I'll bet that underfolders will be part of their regular product line in Sep.

I think I'm going to wait till sep and get a reall folder.."just because".....even though I have heard they are not as nice to shoot as a regular stock. I missed the boat once in 1989 (although I didn't even live in the US back then) and I'm not going to miss it again!

Yeah the underfolders really have a bad cheek weld - not pleasant to shoot at all. Personally I like the side folders like on the AK-100 series.

LOL...I guess I'll have to find out for myself...its just than once the govt tells me I can't have something then it drives me nuts not being able to have it...

I agree about the underfolders not being comfortable to shoot. But man, they sure do look nice!

You won't have to. Arsenal already posted a thread on the K-VAR forum telling you how to make the fixed folder "work".

Hey Zoid,

I figured this was as good a place as any to ask this, even if it is off-topic...

Did you ever get that Grad-1 vest you ordered?

Nah, still waiting. They say they'll ship it at the end of this month as soon as they get some in.

Just make sure you post a review ASAP. I'm looking hard at the Grad-2. That's probably my next weaponry-related acquisition after I get my Mak back from refinishing at Makarov.com.

Okay.

So far the company is slow and full of excuses.

Is the company based in Russia or the U.K.? I seem to remember the prices being expressed in pounds at one point.
