If you have a milled Yugoslavion AK like the NPAP and OPAP, I have good news. Echo Nine Three is sitting on some extra V6 Sling Plates from a special order of sterile plates. These plates are unmarked which is handy if you are a secret squirrel or you just want to save some cash. Check out the special pricing on the sterile V6 Sling Plates while they last.
Prepare your stockings. They’re about to get stuffed. Everything that Echo Nine Three makes is on sale in a big way during their Black Friday to Cyber Monday event. Check out Echo Nine Three. The sale starts this Friday.
The cheek weld (or lack there of) is notorious. Some shooters find them nearly unusable. Thankfully, Echo Nine Three has a solution – the UFCR or Under Folder Cheek Rest.
The UFCR is simple and I mean that as a compliment. It is a molded, .08″ thick Kydex piece that snaps into place between the two bars of the under folding stock. It provides a more repeatable and comfortable cheek weld for stamped/AKM under folders including the Yugo M70. It must be removed if you fold the stock but installing/removing it is easy.
Check out the UFCR at Echo93.
Warning: Go get a napkin or something to wipe your drool. Echo Nine Three has been working for nearly 2 years to create the SpecMod Stock Set – a stock set for AKMs that provides modern features and ergonomics with a purist appearance.
The stock features a triangular cheek piece (similar to a SOPMOD stock for an AR-15) that is adjustable for height via shims. It can be adjusted low enough to use with iron sights and high enough for use with optics. It features a rubber recoil pad to take the edge off recoil and an improved toe in angle for increase contact area with the shoulder.
The fore grip is available in two different versions. The regular version features a shortened version of the Romanian “G” vertical grip (AKA the Donkey Dong). The vertical grip is shortened enough to provide plenty of clearance for mag changes but still provide enough grip to work with a modern thumb forward grip. Optionally, you can choose a standard AKM hand guard with no vertical grip.
The pistol grip is very similar to a standard wood AKM grip except it has been enlarged to better fill the hand.
The SpecMod Stock Sets are hewn from birch laminate and then finished with a “Russian Red” finish. These stock sets are manufactured by Ironwood Designs to Echo Nine Three’s spec. They fit AKM pattern rifle (stamped receivers) and may require some fitting.
Now you don’t have to choose between functionality and good looks! Check out the Echo Nine Three SpecMod Stock Sets.
I recently posted a picture from Echo Nine Three that showed how to convert an old AR-15 receiver end plate into a sling mount. That is pretty interesting on its own but when you know the rest of the story, it is even more interesting. Joe, the owner of Echo Nine Three, dropped by to mention that the picture was taken inside a Land Cruiser… on an iPhone… in Afghanistan.
Cool that you posted this. The photo work was done inside a Land Cruiser in Afghanistan with a iPhone 4. HAHAHA!
I just thought it was pretty cool that Joe doesn’t let a little thing like being in Afghanistan get in the way of dropping some DIY knowledge on the rest of us. And now you know… the rest of the story!
