Non-slip AK buttpad?

[kmrtnsn]

What are you all using on your AK's for a non-slip butt pad? I like the short warsaw length stock on my SGL21 but am not enamored of the friction-free steel buttpad. What are my options?

Stair tread grip tame at your local home improvement store is cheapest/easiest.


If that won't stick, and you're not concerned about the resale value of that one particular part, try some JBWeld or other epoxy and texture it as it is drying. Dying is easy if you like tacti-black.

I actually bought a cheap knock-off (UTG) of the Eastern Block rubber butt pad. It adds two inches to the Warsaw length stock so for me it was a no go. That and it is hard as the steel plate itself.

I like the grit tape idea.

I have grip tape, which I have liberally applied to a couple of pistols. I think what I may do is use some rubber/texured paint on the stock buttpad. What do you think of that? Anyone try it or something similar?

I have used truck bed liner with great success on my Vltor modstocks.

Plasti Dip may work as well. I have can laying around from when I treated some metal AK sling attachments to silence them and keep them from marking the finicky Eastern bloc finish.

I think I am leaning towards using the textured truck bed liner repair product that comes in small tin cans. Any experience, anyone?

I never got around to doing it on mine, but was leaning towards plasti-dip or the bed liner too.

I'll take that as a "semi-endorsement" coming from Tactical Yellow Visor!

Next weekend I will track down a can of the Plastic-Cote Bed Liner Spray and give it a whirl.

I've seen a few guys coat rifle stocks with that stuff. Comes out looking good.
