Tapco’s folding AK stock sees improvement thanks to Freedom Group

I’ll admit, it’s not the most confidence-inspiring headline. Still, with Tapco furniture’s reputation it’s the most positive headline I could write, without risking the accusation of being on their payroll.

In many cases, Tapco’s reputation as a subpar furniture maker is well deserved, but not everything made by Tapco is shoddy. In fact, the majority of its SKS 922r compliance parts are very dependable. The same goes for the Saiga 12 gas pucks. The furniture it makes for AR15s and AKs has been iffy at best, but Tapco is quietly changing that.
I spoke to an engineer at Tapco to investigate if these products really deserve all the flak they get on the Internet. His answer? — “Absolutely.”
