Would this receiver be able to accept a parts swap from a poly technologies folding butt stock ak47:

Minus the folding butt stock obviously. Besides a new but stock would there be any other parts that would need to be purchased to make the swap?
Do you know of a better receiver to complete the swap?

Thanks.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Just read the IO Inc. threads. It looks like the same one that was on my IO Inc AK. Although it says they are fully heat treated, a bunch of us have had problems with bolt carrier groups coming off rails, issues with the rivits etc. Just spend the extra 20-30 and pick up a Nodak receiver. I've never heard of any issues with them, and many builders prefer them.

1. That receiver(most that are available actually) is 1mm thick. Chinese AK's use 1.6mm receivers. AFAIK there aren't any commercially available.

2. Royal tiger imports is I.O.. Stay far far away.

Not legal for CA, assuming that's where you reside.

DAS has them sometimes but usually as added to a parts kit. You might try PRK too. You can always just order one to your favorite FFL.
