Cutting a milled reciever

[Steemax]

Hello all, I own a Century Arms C39 Sporter AK-47, as most who have held this rifle know it comes with an unusually long stock. This would be fine except for the fact it uses Polish style hardware which is next to non-existent.

Finally I found a Tapco 6 point adjustable stock for milled recievers that according to some reviews will fit with a little modifications.

The issue is my receiver has a top and bottom lip that fasten to the stock. The bottom lip is in the way of allowing the stock to seat properly.

I need to do some cutting and was wondering what tool is best to cut that lower lip? Is a dremel enough or should I bust out the grinder wheel with a cutting disk? What would you guys do?

Thank you!

Why wouldn't you cut the stock?

Don't cut the lower tang off.
Inlet the stock to FIT the lower tang.

I would listen to Randall...cut the aftermarket stock not the receiver.

Or...call these guys up and have them make you a wood stock with the LOP you want.

Well now I just feel like a fool
I'll just dremel out a slot for the tang to slip into on the new stock.

Thanks guys! Sorry for the stupid question lol
