I seen a few AK's using that grip wrap or fin whatever it's called and I just don't understaknd why? I like holding the pistol grip and with that fin or wrap you cannot. I have a sporter and it's tuff enough to get a good hold on the rifle. But shooting open handed with the wrap or fin I just don't understand.
Maybe you guys can tell me why some like them and others don't. I don't. |

^^ What he said... http://www.calguns.net/caawid/flowchart.pdf
But, since no one else has chimed in with a more detail explinaiton, I'll take the liberty of doing so... If the only thing stopping your AK from being legally considered "featureless" is the pistol grip (lack of all other "evil" features), short from removing the pistol grip, which doesn't work too well on an AK, the next best thing is a grip wrap. It's uncomfortable, looks silly and I personally don't like them. I've tried. But it's the wrap or the bullet button. For now, I've gone with the bullet button for pure ergonomics and control of the rifle. Besides, it's not permanent and easily removed (under legal circumstances of course). With a "featureless" AK, you can legally remove the bullet button and if you owned "high capacity" mags before the ban in Jan 2000, you can now use them in your newly "featureless" AK. It's a little known fact that owning "high capacity" mags before the ban doesn't give you the legal right to use them in a rifle with a bullet button (including an AK), in fact, it's the opposite, it's illegal to do so... Yes, it's illegal to use "high capacity" magazines in a bullet button firearm.

Is this you? ![]() I guess you mean sporter saiga, those are indeed crappy for getting a grip but that's why you convert them... The thing is though, even with a grip wrap over a standard AK pistol grip, you have a better grip than the crappy way saigas come in their sporter config. As far as why? Changing magazines without fumbling with tools and such is a bit easier(of course there's also the benefit of being able to use high cap magazines if you've got them as well). |

Heres an exerpt from my featureless guide that may give you an idea why people choose to use the grip wrap instead of a magazine lock.

I just got a sub 2000 and it has the wrap, picking it up in 8 days now! It did not feel too uncomfortable to hold. Ill let you know how it is to shoot. Though its a 9mm and not a 7.62x39 so I bet its a little different ha.
