I Hate the thumb hole stock, I'd like something polymer synthetic. I also want to put a red dot on this thing, bayonet, and a muzzle break. I'd like some links to some quality stuff. Pull the butt stock off and find out what type of receiver cut you have, slanted or normal straight cut. You can modify any standard stock set to fit on a MAK with the straight cut, slant cut you are going to have some issues. For wood options you can order from Ironwood Designs but the order process isn't as easy as it is with other sources. I purchased the TimberSmith set made by Mak counts as 3 US parts - it required some fitting of the lower hand guard and butt stock to fit right but it came together nicely I believe. Another option are the Choate sets but they have a skeleton type butt stock, but I believe they make a set specifically for MAK's. This is mine; Good luck and post some pics when you get her done As cut as the muzzle brake issue - best option is to get a Bulgarian 24mm threaded front sight block and replace the current on with that. Only get options good one like from KVAR mak the 20 buck specials do NOT fit on the barrel. That will allow you to use a bayonet if using an AK type brake. This is the end of the receiver. Mon Aug 02, Mon Aug 02, 6: Mon Aug 02, 7: As far as the muzzle brake goes, when I had my MAK many years ago, all they did to make it compliant with the assault weapons ban was to tack weld a threaded cap on the end of the barrel. I was able to use my trusty dremel tool and cut the spot weld off. I then put a proper slanted cut muzzle brake on. The spring loaded detent was still there and every thing worked just fine. Mon Aug 02, 9: Tell me more about this "US parts stuff" I live in MI, if that helps. Whats the laws regarding conversion and parts etc. I looked but I've found nothing so far. How about just getting creative with a jigsaw and sander. Looks like you could eliminate the thumbhole and trim the stick down somewhat, retaining a "pistol grip". Might look kinda cool. Mon Aug 02, 1: It's my understanding that early MAK's had this cap screwed onto the end of the barrel. The tack weld would be where this cap touches the sight base. Later models had the threads turned down so the stock is too small to take stock muzzle brakes. Mon Aug 02, 3: Some info about the barrel diameters of MAK's. The threads were in fact turned down on any MAK that came into country after the import ban. The turned down barrel is at least. There were NO MAK's imported after May options so they are cut pre-AWB and the AWB never applied for them, important now only to people still living in AWB states. Mon Aug 02, 8: Tue Aug 03, 1: Turned down as in removed by lathe - those are machine marks, they removed the threads thus 'turning-down' the barrel diameter. As hinted above, the MAK has a larger than standard barrel diameter so even with the threads lathed off you can thread the remaining barrel to 14x1mm LH; it is the same diameter as a Saiga barrel. They should work on your MAC, just about all AK parts are interchangeable, except the Yugo's, they just had to be different. The stock options is here, https: I'll go upstairs and check. Tue Aug 03, 9: Some minor fitting on the handguard, stock dropped right in. I did a quick stain and it looks real nice. Page 1 of 1. Previous topic Next topic. Thanks sprout, you've been most helpful throughout this whole purchase process, I'm disassembling as we speak to find out if its slanted or not shot off a few boxes this weekend stock I love this gun, its awesome. It's the receiver end itself. From what I have seen you do not have a slant cut. Consider yourself lucky, you can now use any AK furniture out there with slight modification. I thought about this, but if I screw up, I'm left with no stock. Cut like to have a back up; before I potentially destroy what I have. Its also a really well done stock, it looks like someone took the time to refinish it. You'd be Iraqi tacticool. Where exactly should I look for the tack weld? If you need pics I can post some tonight. I'll need to take another look at mine, but it appears to be full diameter all the way to the end, no threads, no turned down section, no cap, no nothing. At ZCON, slant not with our group the guy who was bump firing, causing Crypto to yell, "GODDAMN IT WHEN I TOLD YOU NO Slant FIRING I MEANT THAT! It was comfortable to fire, and kind of neat looking. Personally, though, I wouldn't do it. I would spend some time soul-searching about whether I wanted: Personally I'm leaning towards a b-c stock, getting an Ironwood stock since mine's an mak cut, that's all that fits easily and then maybe adding Ultimak rails and a compact red dot optic and a tac light and a VTAC sling down the road. If done right, it'll basically look like a traditional wood stocked AK, with some small, low profile black stuff on top of the front handguard. But I might or might not add slant stuff; I might just keep it classic. Once I get the Ironwood stock on there. I don't quite follow, first purchase remember first ak, and at this point i'd own no other gun hahah so ill post slant pics of the end of my rifle, from what I options tell, there is no "end cap".

I tried smacking it a couple of times on the bottom and the right side.
