    Looking for an AK unfolder kit... Where to buy?

    So quick question, what's the difference between the Polish unfolders and Yugo unfolders? I looked at the Nodakspud site, and besides the pistol grip reinforcement plate, the only other noticeable difference is the Polish receiver doesn't have the holes drilled for the front trunion. Can you put a Polish kit on a Yugo receiver?

    Also, if you can't put the Polish kit on the Yugo receiver, I guess I'll be looking for a decent Yugo unfolder kit. Where's a good place to order a decent shooter? I'm not looking for perfect, but something I can use and not have to worry about replacing the barrel right away because it's shot out or pitted. I've been looking at DPH and Centerfire. Copes doesn't seem to have any Yugo unfolders...

    Ive gotten kits from centerfire systems. Excellent barrels and okay finish. Of course I refinished them anyway so it didnt matter. I am pretty happy with them.

      Yugo-best built AKM type gun....Bulged front trunion, rec is 1.6mm thick. great machining, all around best AK in my opinion. Weak link was the non chrome barrel which many got shot out from using corrosive ammo in war time.

      Polish- Typical AKM 1mm rec., chrome bores, all in very good condition since they were never really used much.

      I'd go with a yugo, they are sweet looking, get one with a decent bore!

            Don't count out the Polish kits! Those are excellent in their own right! Shot rarely... the Yugos shot a lot! They actually saw action.

            The Yugo's at DPH arms are for milled receivers, can't use the Nodak!
            The yugo's at CFSystems seem to be a crap shoot except for the "virgin kits", but those need some milling work from their description.


            Nokad makes 2 versions of the Polish underfolder...

            Model NDS-1P "Premium" Polish underfolder receiver. This variant comes without the pistol grip reinforcement plate. caliber 7.63x39.

            Model NDS-1P with plate "Premium" Polish underfolder receiver. This variant has the pistol grip reinforcement plate installed. Custom serial #s available. caliber 7.63x39

            The Yugo may look and feel better, but the Polish w/chrome bore will last a lifetime. Actually, the Yugo will probably last a lifetime too! I'd like to have both.

              Couldn't you just get a romanian kit and get the underfolder separate...in fact it might be cheaper?
