That stock looks like an AK74 stock, so any fixed stock AKM rear trunnion will work.

Obviously, there's a ton of work involved to do what you want. Not hard if you have the right tools though

Just be advised that the rear of the receiver is very different between the side folder and the fixed stock models. There will already be some metal missing from the left side to allow for the hinge mechanism, not to mention the different locations for the rivets. So to replace the folding stock trunnion with a fixed stock trunnion, there will have to be some sheet metal welding done to the rear of the receiver to add some material.

If this Covid has not affected my memory cells, lol, I seem to recall that there are aftermarket wooden stocks to replace the folding stock at the hinge. That would probably be a much cleaner product.

You will need a 5.5 mm version of this:

Also this option, it's not Burlwood though. Maybe you can have someone paint the burlwood on there?

They come in different colors

Also the folding mechanism comes in 2 different sizes. Measure your pin before you order. 4.5mm or 5.5mm

the 5.5mm exist. The Russians did the 5.5mm

Harder to find, and prob more expensive than the 4.5mm. Because everything AK and Russian is more expensive.

I know its got the notch for the hinge on the left side, but I didn't know that the rivet holes might be different.

I don't want to buy the premade wood folder cause this faux bakelite is the exact pattern I wanted. They are also like $250 for a piece of pine.

Always wanted to make a burled walnut furniture set but this is much much easier and looks 95% the same.

Edit: ^^ The $125 folder would work if I could just harvest the guts from it but I'm definitely not paying $350 just for the front of the other set. It appears they dont make a 5.5 set.

If you do have a 5.5mm pin (Russian) you'll have a heck of a time finding the type of stock you've described. A lot of the Russian parts and sources have dried up and finding anything is nearly impossible now. If you do find something, it's going to cost a boat load of $.

You might want to confirm the diameter of your pin before dropping $ into an expensive stock. If you have a 4.5mm pin you'll have a lot more options.

I'll tell you, I picked up an Izhmash 103 style rear stock with trunnion back when they were plentiful and it still cost me $250.... And that was the "sale" price!

ETA- Apparently Kvar has an Izhmash 103 side folding stock (the same I purchased) in stock. However, they don't list a price- https://www.k-var.com/buttstock-asse...-block-russian

Website says the pin is 5.5mm

I’m pretty sure it’s the 5.5 Kalashnikov USA used to sell a 5.5 adapter for the kr-9 to mod the triangle stock to an AR style tube brace… https://www.jmac-customs.com/buffer-...m-folding-aks/

Ask the guys at https://www.reddit.com/r/KalashnikovUSAowners they were a big help when I was doing some mods on my kr-9.

https://www.kalashnicarver.com is a good resource for custom AK furniture too.

I know its got the notch for the hinge on the left side, but I didn't know that the rivet holes might be different.

Also keep in mind the holes on either side, left for the button and right for the latch mechanism, have to be patched.
