Reviews & Ratings for Tdi Arms AKST-AK47 Buffer Tubes — 9 reviews — Page 1

I purchased this and it didn’t fit the panzer 12, but it will fit the akm series stamped receiver.
It’s great and nothing wrong with it.
But keep in mind you might need to modify it as all ak parts need.

Good quality, fit nice and tight with a little pounding..
But no hardware.. luckily i had some m5-.80 counter sink bolts laying around.

It is as strong as advertised. You will just have to muscle or shave off a layer of aluminum (which can be done with a file) to make it fit because all weapons are slightly off. It’s a great alternative to the wood one.

This is a very well made and good-looking buffer tube. It works with mil-spec stocks and makes the AK platform more modular and flexible. It was a tight fit on my WASR-10 and required some tapping in with a rubber gunsmith hammer. I oiled up the inner receiver tang area and the tube mount to help it find its home. The receiver and tang holes lined up perfect on my rifle. Once secured it is rock solid and actually looks better than the AK itself.

That being said there is a lot of tolerance variations across different AK makes and manufacturers so what works on the WASR-10 may not work with a PSA, Arsenal, K-USA or whatever. I have a Romanian RH-10 and it was a no go for that firearm. I recommend doing a side by side to ensure the tube and receiver holes match up and the receiver will accept the buffer mount with minor tapping installation before taking the chance of marring the finish and not being able to return for refund.

It fits and lines up well on my Russian Saiga. No wobble. But I was sent the older model that has a ridge preventing my magpul stock from collapsing all the way. The pictures show model without ridges. I will have to modify my adapter or stock to used 2 more positions. So not a 6 position adapter for a magpul stock.

I’m happy with the overall quality of the adapter. However, I had to cut and grind on the front part that attaches to the rear tang and goes into the receiver of my Beryl. I purchased this hoping it would fit without mods because the Definitive Arms M4 adapter I had wouldn’t work for my purpose. Unfortunately there just aren’t many options for the Beryl rear tang. This won’t be an issue with a regular AKM or fixed stock AK 100 series.

This is the easy to convert your old AK wood stock to adjustable stock and you don't have to buy the adapter piece for the back of your AK to put a buffer tube because adapter all ready comes with the buffer tube all together in one piece. The price is just right for me.
