When the AK was first developed, the earliest synthetic materials started appearing in firearms designs. These early examples were too weak to be used for something that required a lot of durability, like a stock. So, the AK began with a wooden stock, either solid wood or, for more strength and greater durability in the elements, laminated wood. American manufacturers make new and very attractive AK stocks in these original materials. But Kalashnikov fans can also opt to modernize their AKs with the latest and most ergonomic polymer AK stocks—fixed, folding or collapsible—as well as new grips and handguards for completely personalized rifles.

Check out our full list of best AK stocks and grips below:

ATI AK-47 Elite Package

ATI AK-47 Elite Package ak stocks

The AK-47 Elite Package from Advanced Technology International (ATI) is a complete polymer stock replacement kit for most stamped-receiver AKs. It includes a six-position-adjustable buttstock with an internal recoil compensation system, an adjustable cheekrest, ambidextrous QD sling swivel points, and a removable, non-slip, recoil-absorbing buttpad. The kit also includes an ergonomic Scorpion pistol grip with rubber inserts and finger grooves as well as ventilated upper and lower handguards with rails for installing optics or accessories.

BCM Gunfighter KAG

BCM Gunfighter KAG ak stocks

Recognizing that the small handguards on a traditional AK do a poor job of protecting the shooter’s hand, some AKs—specifically Romanian and Hungarian models—added vertical foregrips. These were angled forward slightly to ease reloading. For a user-installed option, we turn to Bravo Company Manufacturing (BCM). The BCM Gunfighter KAG (Kinesthetic Angled Grip) features a forward-angled rake that provides a firmer hold and increased user comfort while decreasing fatigue. Both KeyMod and Picatinny rail versions of this tough polymer grip are available.

Boyds Gunstocks

Boyds Gunstocks ak stocks

If the original wood is more to your liking, there are few better options than Boyds Gunstocks, which makes phenomenal smooth laminated wooden AK stocks for most stamped-receiver AKs. Some variants may require additional fitting because this product follows the Romanian AK pattern. The laminated wood designs are very attractive and are available in a brown nutmeg, green camouflage and gray/black pepper. Each set includes original handguards, a pistol grip and a stock with a 13.25-inch length of pull and a rubber recoil pad.

Command Arms AK47SFSP

Command Arms AK47SFSP ak stocks

Many shooters who own ARs already have a preferred stock. Thanks to Command Arms Accessories (CAA), you can install your favorite AR stock on your AK and even improve upon it. The AK47SFSP stock adapter installs like a replacement stock on your stamped-receiver AK but features an AR-style buffer tube extension with six length-of-pull positions. Also, this stock adapter features a reversible side-folding capability so the user can choose between a left- and right-side folding. The stock adapter features polymer, aluminum, and steel construction for strength.

Ergo AK Classic Grip

Ergo AK Classic Grip ak stocks

Ergo grips are both hand-filling and ergonomic, with finger grooves and textured side panels. The Ergo AK Classic Grip features soft rubber over-molding on top of the rigid polymer core as well as an internal, waterproof storage compartment to keep small parts or spare batteries for optics.

Ergo AK Rigid Grip

Ergo AK Rigid Grip ak stocks

In some environments, such as harsh desert conditions, the overmolding can become worn, so some users prefer the Ergo Rigid AK Grip. This grip has the same shape and feel, but it’s made of hard plastic polymer with texturing that won’t wear off over time.

FAB Defense AGR-47 Grip

FAB Defense AGR-47 Grip ak stocks
