It was born with it but I do have plans to replace it in the futureCongrats ! That's a gorgeous rifle ! Is that a thumb hole conversion or was it born with that furniture ?
I just did that as well What color/wood did you go with?Grats, my mak90 is probably my fav gun to shoot. First thing I did was order some wood from Kalashnicarver
100%. Get the Magna matic sight tool. Every single one of the four or five cheap AK site adjustment tools I've used from Amazon have broken almost immediately.Enjoy it. I'd nuke the thumbhole, but then I'm sort of a traditionalist. Oh, and go ahead and buy the sight tool: this is not the last AK you'll end up with.
That looks sweet! I was torn between ash and white oak decided on oak with a bright/barn red can't wait to see what it looks likeView attachment 659193
White Oak, and dont know the color. just said "red" and sent them some reference photos, came exactly as I was hoping.
The thumb hole stock sucks to shoot with. You can install a regular AK stock no problem but it will require a bit of fitting because the receiver is 1.5 mm thick versus The Standard akm 1 mm sheet metal.
My SA93 came with a thumbhole stock. I got rid of it because I just can‘t stand an AK without traditional furniture, but honestly? It shouldered more comfortably with the thumbhole on.I disagree 1000%! In my opinion and experience, the thumbhole stock is much more comfortable shooting with than the regular pistol grip. I would not be in a big hurry to change it if you like how it shoots @El_Guapo77
That wood looks sharp!I had the thumb hole stocks on both my mak90s. The plastic furniture is simple to make fit. I bought the Cold War red set off Atlantic firearms and took some fitting but I like the traditional feel much better then the clunky thumb hole stocks. Also I have shot many AKs and I have to say the Chinese did good on this one.

Really? Hm perhaps because of the rubber butt pad but the ergonomics of the thumbhole for practical shooting do not work for me. I'm more worried about killing muzzle rise than recoil on aks.I disagree 1000%! In my opinion and experience, the thumbhole stock is much more comfortable shooting with than the regular pistol grip.

Nope, its the grip that I prefer. I think the regular pistol grip is too skinny. There is no appreciable recoil on an AK. If someone thinks there is, then they need to shoot more big boy bolt guns to experience actual recoil.
Agreed. The thumbhole stock on the maks are small and cumbersome. The thumbhole stocks on my veprs are fantastic.That looks phenomenal on your MAK!!!
