TM AK47 Battery Compartment

[HuntR]

Right i have a full stock TM AK47, but i can't fit my large 8.4v battery in the stock. Is this normal, and is there a way to mod the stock so i can fit the large battery

What size cells? The TM is a little tight with even the standard NICD packs. I had troubles with my 3700mah years ago, it just needed a lot of force, but again it depends on where its getting stuck.
I will talk you through the modifications required to fit a 9.6 large, but for the sake of the stocks structural integrity, id rather you got the existing pack to fit without the mods.

yh if you heat up a knife then you can push back the part blocking the middle of the stock
which creates more space

It's a tornado large 8.4 3700 mah. So it's a very tight squeese. The stock ridges close to the end and this is what is stopping the battery from going all the way down from what i can see. Whats the easiest way to fix this issue

i took my ak47 stock to my local school and got a teacher friend of mine to put it on a lauve (wood spinning thing) and made the whole in the stock bit bigger for my bigger batts

Hmm thats a good idea. I'm sure i have an electric sander here somewhere. It only needs to go down another half a cm or so.
