thats gonna be one sweet SBR!!!  im actually toying with the idea of doing another AR15 SBR.

i've shot and owned two underfolding AK's.  i never had a problem with them and i never thought they were uncomfortable, but i know other people who hate them.  to each their own, i guess.

I have a Draco pistol that has the UF trunion too.  I was planning on eventually converting mine sometime in the future, until I held an underfolder WASR-10 last weekend.  When holding it in firing position, I noticed that I would have to use a "jaw weld" instead of a "cheek weld" in order to even see the rear sight as the stock seems to drop at quite an angle away from the rear of the receiver.  Since this was a Century-built gun, I'm not sure if this is just a case of one of their legendary messed up "monkey-built" guns, or if all underfolders are like this. 

Not trying to derail your thread here, but have you fired an underfolder?  If so, is this "jaw weld" necessary on all of them to line up the sights?  After last weekend, I'm thinking my little Draco might just stay a pistol.

Rick,
It just depends on the manfacturer of the rifle. Polish AKM's have the UF coming straight back from the receiver and are "cheek weld" all be it a small contact area. Then some like the Romanian and old T-type Russians have that drop on the stock that causes the "jaw weld". You just cant beat a triangle side folder or standard fixed stock for best fit. Heck even the single wire Tantal style side folders work better than the traditional old under folders.
