AKS triangle side folder.... compliance ideas...

[Gowking]

Sounds similar to what I posted in the other thread. When the selector is off safe it engages the collar so that the catch cannot be pushed in. Moving the selector to safe frees the collar to move. Push the catch in and release the stock. Once you start moving the stock the catch will move left under the spring force. Along the way the selector could be taken off safe and the stock locked in the folded position. Another opportunity to disengage the safety occurs when the stock is almost completely folded as it pushes the catch in again.

Interested in seeing/visualizing how you would make the connection between the safety lever and the collar.

I've been digging for this link all day:

It's in Russian but has a lot of pictures showing how the side folder locking mechanism is set up. Looks to prevent the catch from being pushed in and once the stock starts rotating prevents the safety from being disengaged as the rod can no longer go backwards.

you rock and believe it or not do understand those pics quite well even if its in Russian ...lol thank you for digging that up


ok so here is the part that connects from the safety to the button







notice the bottom on the safety on the left side, that slides in that connector... also note the slot in the latch button



here is the connector in the fire position thus locking the button by a slot in the button



the reason for the connector coming out the back is so if the weapon in on fire with the stock folded and you swing the stock closed it will hit this and push the safety to safe and unlock the button at the same time
i think to interfere with the hinge to keep it on safe this pic shows the safety on fire, on safe it would be flush




.... so with that i definitively think that a mod could be done, but it would be alot more work then the underfolder due to having to mod/slot the trunnion....


ETA if the hinge wont allow that tail to come out the back while being folded it would prevent the weapon from moving off safe in any position other then stock locked open ....done deal

Yes the pictures make it very clear how things work. Now if we could just get some of those parts here for future builds.

ya if those parts where available it would be cool , but i dont see any real issues with someone making that system up in there shop, heck that link you posted even have the dimensions on the connecting rod ....

i priced out those trunnions and stocks and kits , and its just not for me at the price i am way to poor ....lol

So without the slot in the trunnion prior to install this is a no go? As in no other way to do this without that particular setup?

[Gowking]

Pretty much due to the fact that slot is the only thing tying the stock to the safety. Every design I dreamed up had the same flaw.
