Hey guys got a questions for you all. I'm looking into AK accessories to stock in the store I work for and I am at a loss as to who makes what and of what quality. So I'm looking for your input as to what you would like to see in a gun store for ak accessories and who makes them. Basically looking for as much input as you can give me. Thanks alot guys!

I don't know if Ironwood Designs would sell to a third party, but I would think having a supply of really high quality AK wood furniture might be something to look into. About the only problem I could see is Ironwood is a small operation run by someone who is a perfectionist and might not be able to provide quick delivery of a large quantity.

Some of the ComBloc stuff is average or better. Most original AK stuff is made to go to hell and back but the 922r issue will require attention.

Ace internal blocks, folding mechs, and stocks
Krebs sights, safeties, canted vertical grips
Tromix saiga 12 crap
Chaos us rails
Ak100 folding stocks
UsPalm grips and mags
Bulgarian ((10)) mags
Ultimak rails
Texas weapon systems rails
Ironwood stocks
That side mount company that military arms just reviewed that i can't think of the name.
Wolf, golden tiger, tula, barnaul, and hornady 7.62 ammo

There is more, but that's off the top of my head.

Vitamink just hit most of the companies I have been looking at. You might wat to keep some TAPCO triggers, but the rest of the tapco stuff should stay away from aks (Except maybe the pistol grips, some people like those). The magazines sucks, the stock sets suck, the triggers are good, but that's about it. A stocking ultimak dealer would be sweet, as would a krebs dealer.

Also:

Red Star Arms triggers

Windage & Elevation tool for the front sight

Simple two point slings.

Quality tennis racket bags for discreetly carrying folded AKs.

Krylon for occasional refinishing.

Midwest Industries goods

Just don't get those crappy drum mags that you take the side off of to load and have to wind the spring...they are complete garbage. Get the romies with the loading lever and dummy follower rounds.

 

[Philabuster]

US Palm stuff has been great.

how about their muzzle brakes? im looking for a nice quality one, the 4 pronged type

 

[vitamink]

get a battle comp or primary weapons systems are a better option for your AK. Tapco doesn't really do any research or development. I would, however, purchase a tapco slant brake for a iodine russian red AK with bakelite mags just to keep with the theme. For quality i'd try one of the above.

This shows a good compare-o of the 3 (the "kuh-losh" **** gets old) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlqGU6hGT24[/ame]

 

[twostepadin]

that us palm grip really is quite comfortable. and as far as travis haley, imho given his marines/blackwater record. he could call it a pink fluffy clown car and i wouldnt question it. :P

i can also vouch for the ultimak. cause optic zero retention is kindve a basic need.

FWIW, I just did a grip guide at my place:
AK47 Talk: AK Grips Guide

While I'm now a fan of Travis Haley's Adaptive Kalash video (review of that over there too), I'm still a bigger fan of flash suppressors over the brakes.

 

[vitamink]

Good info on the grip guide. Great minds think alike. Which reminds me... Matt, I have a stock for you. PM me your number again, and if you're on the west side i'll go meet you. I also stumbled upon a UsPalm side folding stock (almost) review. Care to expand on that? It certainly sounds interesting.
