What is the little hook on the butt plate on the underfolder stock for?
I would think it does no more than rest against the lower handguard.gives a flatter area so you would not get the half circle from the folder digging in when pressure is applied when folded.
Bingo.
You’re still going to scar a wooden handguard though, just not as badly.
you can buy felt pads small and THIN <important> . i get a sheet of them at wal mart. you can cut one to size. protects the wood from having that metal tab rubbing. also on the yugo i put one under the gernade site. same purpose.
In the same aisle should be some clear soft rubber ones that wont hold moisture.
I believe I 'll pass on the pad, it is an AK, not a high grade target rifle.
whatever rings your bell.
It is an AK but you can still treat like a “target rifle” without ill effect.
