Types of adapters (brief classification)

Compatibility table (quick reference)

Note: Except for the fixed AKM adapter, other adapters are generally compatible with both types of stocks (PT-1 and PT-3) unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Materials and operating parameters

• Adapter material: steel for folding adapters; fixed AKM adapter — D16T alloy.
• Operating temperature range: ?50 Â°C to +50 Â°C.
• Guaranteed storage and service life: 60 months.

How to choose (step-by-step)

1. Identify your weapon model and whether it supports a folding stock.
   • If you have an AKS or AKS-74U — choose the adapter with a 4.5 mm axis.
   • For most combat AKs and some carbines — use 5.5 mm axis adapters.
   • For Saiga-9 — use the dedicated Saiga adapter (5.5 mm).
   • For AKM — if you need the fixed version, choose the fixed adapter (D16T) and remember it is not compatible with PT-3/PT-3S.
2. Decide whether you need the ability to fire with the stock folded.
   • If yes — choose the AK combat adapter that supports firing with the stock folded.
   • If no — civilian/fixed adapters will be suitable.
3. Specify your weapon model when ordering a stock.

   Adapters usually come with the stock, but you must indicate your weapon model clearly so the correct adapter is included.

Installation and kit contents

• Adapters are included in the stock package (PT-1, PT-1S, PT-3, PT-3S) when purchased — specify your weapon model at checkout.
• The fixed AKM adapter is noted separately in the kit and is compatible only with PT-1.
• Installation is normally done with standard tools; some models may require minor adjustments or professional assistance.

Seller recommendations / text for product listing

Always indicate: weapon model, year (if applicable), whether firing with a folded stock is required, and compatibility with PT-1 / PT-3.

Example listing line:

“Adapter included — choose: AKS (4.5 mm), AK (5.5 mm, folding with fire), Saiga-9 (5.5 mm), Ten?-19, Civil AK (5.5 mm, non-firing when folded), Fixed AKM (D16T, PT-1 only).”

Conclusion and order checklist

Before ordering, make sure you have:

1. The exact weapon model (for example, AKS-74U, Saiga-9, AKM, etc.).
2. Determined whether you need the ability to fire with the stock folded.
3. Confirmed which stock version you are buying (PT-1 / PT-3 and their S variants) to avoid incompatibility (fixed AKM adapter ? PT-3/PT-3S).
