Reviews & Ratings for AIM Sports Inc AK Side Folding Stock Adaptor — 4 reviews — Page 1

Do not buy this overpriced garbage. It looks decent out of the package but that’s where it ends. It went on fine with a stamped Saiga AK with no unusual gaps. The mounting holes lined up on the stock tang but the adapter doesn’t even come with threaded holes, rather it uses an Allen screw and nut to mount to tang. The rear bolt wasn’t flush with the mounting holes so the recoil spring was catching on the lip. I used a mlok screw I had laying around that was more tapered so the recoil spins retainer would clear.
It was difficult to fold and unfold. What was really stupid in design was when folded you had to push on the spring to unfold! Unlike majority of folder adapters where there is tension when closed but ramped fittings allow you to unfold with minimal force to open in the locked position. The adapter has two openings in the buffer tube and receiver locations meaning in the folded position dirt, water and any debris will get into the receiver. You can see through to the trigger and bolt carrier. I would recommend checking before firing along with not firing in the folded position. Probably only be used for storage but would not use in the folded position especially if you’re going to field it.

The adapter works and it doesn't seem to be bad quality. There's odd gaps and things in the machining that I think would let debris into the receiver but that's not the worst point. The biggest concern I have is that the buffer tube will sit too high to allow a proper alignment of your iron sights. If you choose to run some sort of optic, it would work fine but you should know this detail ahead of planning your build around this part.

Excellent fit for an AKM stamped receiver. Hinge was little stiff at first use. That is fine because it avoids slop. For my WASR, had to use the supplied screw in the separate bag to clear the recoil spring lug. It has more recess.

Brand new out the box. Folding part will not open and is stuck close.
