I.O. Inc stock swap to ATI Strikeforce

So I bought a new stock for my AK, since I've been wanting an upper rail on the top to mount a red dot. I've been eyeing the ATI Strikeforce stock set for a while at Dunham's, and finally bought it a couple days ago. Today was the day I decided it was time to go and work on the gun for a bit. It really wasn't too hard to do at all, but i did have to pull out the Dremel and naw off a little material to make the lower hand guard seat properly around the rear sight mount. The bad part is that I can't use my folding fore grip on the lower rail, it just doesn't open up enough to slide around it so I just put the factory lower hand guard on to keep the fore grip for now until I buy a new fore grip. The pictures were taken with the replacement hand guard installed just to complete the look.







I used all three original screws (2 in the buttstock and the long pistol grip) and everything went back together without a hitch. I personally like the adjustable cheek rest, and the padding sticker was easy to line up and apply evenly across it. I really think I'm going to enjoy shooting with that Scorpion Recoil Pad built onto the stock, as it's much more comfortable than the hard ribbing of the original butt.
