Re: type 56 or type 56-1 folding stock

I can't vouch for Real Sword. I've got a TM AK47S (underfolder, like the Type 56-1), it's a few years old (don't know exactly as it's at least second hand), but the stock is still pretty solid, with very minimal wobble. I've only ever heard good things about Real Sword, so I should think you'd be fine with it as long as you treated it well.

One thing you might want to be aware of is that it's not so easy to use the fire selector when the stock is folded underneath. Going from Safety to Automatic is easy enough but going from Automatic to Semi and back again isn't all that easy.

But I love my AK, I always wanted the folding stock, and the minor inconvenience is worth it. :-D I mostly play CQB, so folding stock is ideal for me. If you mostly play woodland, you might find the solid stock more comfortable.

There is a bit of wobble evident on the underfolder, but then you get that with a real one as well...

only difference with the real sword one is this, it may have a slight wobble, but you can still batter a man to death with it, or a small elephant, whichever reallly comes along first.
