The VLTOR RE-47 and EMOD finally arrived.

I installed it yesterday and decided to show a pictorial walk through of the installation process.

1) The box contained the RE-47 AK stock adapter, 3 fitting plates and 2 mounting screws as well as the instructions.
2) I read through the instructions and even though they recommend a professional gunsmith do the installation, I decided to do it myself.
3) I took off the dustcover and recoil spring/rod assembly.
4) Then I removed the two mounting screws that hold the factory stock in place.
5) The factory stock is held in place by pressure as it extends into the receiver. It needs to be tapped out with a punch and a mallet.
6) Once it's out, you're left with a big square "puka" (hole) and an attaching tab on the receiver.
7) I then removed the two screws on the RE-47 unit.
8 ) I then fitted the proper fitting plate.
9) After that I mounted the plate on the RE-47 unit.
10) Making sure that it was properly fitted on both the RE-47 and SGL-21 receiver.
11) I put a little blue loc-tite on the RE-47 mounting screws.
12) Then I attached the RE-47 unit to the receiver with the two included screws.
13) Once attached, I simply slid the EMOD stock onto the adapter tube.
14) I also took a picture of the two stocks side by side to illustrate the differences.
The new stock looks and feels great. It feels much better than the factory stock. You can actually adjust it into 4 different positions and it can be shorter, the same length or longer than the factory stock.
The base pad feels much more solid in the shoulder then the skinny factory stock basepad.
Bear in mind that the adapter tube is "mil-spec" so if you intend to buy this adapter tube you can shop for the proper stock.
While a commercial stock will fit on a mil-spec tube, it will be much looser than the proper fitting mil-spec stock.
