M's Review of ATI Outdoors Strikeforce AK-47 Collapsible Stock & Handguard Package w/ Gen 2 Tactlite
It's made of weak plastic, on the box it says made in USA, but given the quality that's almost hard to believe. The adjusting lever is very feeble, one mistake and it can snap off. I swear this thing feels like a 3D printed object, it's so easy to scratch the surface of the plastic with my finger nail and leave permanent marks, I was close to sending it back but I figured it's not that bad, the surface is fixable with krylon. There's an o-shaped ring that secures the butt stock from the folding end, just where the cylinder connects(reference pic), well it didn't come with mine, I assumed it help keeps the butt stock tight to the folding stock, because with enough force, the butt stock can be pulled from the folding stock, If there was a better way to secure it besides using super glue, I don't know any other way. Also, when looking at the photo, you'll notice at the base of the cheek rest stamped "ATI." Yeah, mine doesn't have that on there neither. Honestly though, it's not that big of a deal, I just thought it was nice to have a brand named product, personally I think it adds to the value, but that's just my opinion.
I'm going to keep this because I don't want to go through the hassle of repackaging and resending, I can always order more stocks. I am however going to be real cautious the next time I spot "ATI Outdoors." They couldn't even sand the plastic burr off the corners and seams, not applying a lasting krylon or cerakote finish to the surface is one thing, but at least come up with a way to make it a little more durable and eye pleasing, especially for its asking price, this seems to be more of a $30 product. When looking into the square hole on the end that connects to the rifle, there is an excess sheet of plastic someone failed to remove, I just took an ink pen and poked it.
On the bright side, it's not entirely a terrible product, it's very lightweight, and it fits nicely in the shoulder, also very comfortable. The spring locking mechanism works well enough, although I would be careful with it when moving about, definitely not a stock worthy of a battle designated rifle. At least lower the cost, because it feels like a borderline rip off, as I've mentioned though, I'll keep this in mind the next time I spot the product manufacturer.
