Robocop1051 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 I recently took the task of modifying a family members AK... it's a Century C39v1 to be exact. The new "American AK" has a milled receiver, and while it looks the part, it has a few compatability issues with the legendary AK47. I first modified it to have a top rail... easy and done. Next was to replace the handguard. This was a little difficult and required some permanent modification to the rifle.... so fuckin what, it ain't my rifle... done! Last is the stock... fuckme fuckme fuckme... OK, this is where the milled receiver is VASTLY different than the stamped receiver. The AK stock will NOT fit as it is.... dilema: 1. Scrap the whole plan and change stocks. or 2. Drill/cut the receiver to accept the stock. (Stock will require some fitting as well) The option for alternative stocks is very expensive. The option to permanently modify the receiver may make me the 1st and only person (so far as I can find online) so make this modification on a C39v1. Thoughts?
Toolndie7 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 its already molested, I say option #2 but thats just me <dontknow>
blue109 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Local AK guru has been complaining a lot about those new century guns. Seems like he just scraps them down to bare receivers and rebuilds them ground up.

Seems like he just scraps them down to bare receivers and rebuilds them ground up. I took it out already, pre-molestation, and shot the shiit outta it. It ran fine on steel communist ammo. Even the corrosive stuff. My cousin wants it to look more "modern" without turning it into another AK with AR parts.
planeflyer21 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 You looked at Kvar for stocks? They sell complete sets for either milled or stamped receivers.
MikedaddyH Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Had two cool pics to upload but it did not take that file. Get a BumbSki stock or a Vepr stock or a Z...... Stock(Russian Gen on Eastern Front WWII). Folding stocks suck(MHO)!1203.2701.pdf Edited May 27, 2015 by MikedaddyH
Robocop1051 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Posted May 27, 2015 I actually like the skeleton stock personally, but this isn't for me.
Robocop1051 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Posted May 27, 2015 So do I; A. Heavily modify the milled receiver, removing a significant amount of metal, and keeping the stock as near to original as possible. B. HEAVILY butcher/modify the stock to fit the receiver and try to get by with drilling a few hidden holes in the receiver. I'm feeling B... neither are reversible.
DNP Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Call CMMG. They have parts to make that thing work. I'm sure of it.
Robocop1051 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Well shitsticks... that didn't go quite as planned.... Pictures soon to follow. Trying to mask my fuck up.
98Z5V Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 You nailed it, right outta the gate. so fuckin what, it ain't my rifle...
MikedaddyH Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Well shitsticks... that didn't go quite as planned.... Pictures soon to follow. Trying to mask my fornicate up.Hide your F... up with camp duck tape.
MikedaddyH Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Finished product. This stock isn't bad either.
ChaseFan9 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Finished product. This stock isn't bad either. Nice looking Krinkov clone, turned out pretty good!
MikedaddyH Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Nice looking Krinkov clone, turned out pretty good!Sorry Dude ! Not Robo's gun. I was F ing with Rob.
Robocop1051 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 I'm headed to the store today to buy a new bolt. The way I have this stock setup, I want a thicker bolt holding it in. It's supposed to have three bolts, and I can only get two. I don't think there's enough "meat" to drill the third hole.... Getting closer!
MikedaddyH Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Is that Rob's?! Looking good! :leghump:Maybe this one is ?
Robocop1051 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Holy shitinski I think I made this happen! This stock and this rifle were not designed to work together.... but gawdamit, I own a dremmel, a fresh package of JB Weld and I live 3 blocks from Lowes. It may even be better/stronger than it was intended?!?
Robocop1051 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Posted May 29, 2015 It's fuckin done... I'll start a new thread so my progress isn't lost.
