AKM Side-Folding Wood Stock – Exotic Padauk

The AKM Side-Folding Wood Stock – Exotic Padauk from Nord Armory is where bold design meets uncompromising functionality. Engineered for AKM-pattern rifles equipped with a 5.5mm side-folding trunnion, this premium stock transforms your rifle into a showcase of craftsmanship and robust mechanical performance.

Padauk wood, native to Central and West Africa, is renowned for its striking reddish hue and exceptional durability. Over time, it matures into a deeper burgundy tone, developing a rich natural patina while resisting wear from sustained use. Its density and structural resilience make Padauk an outstanding choice for rifle furniture — delivering both strength and unmistakable visual character.

At its core, the assembly incorporates a hardened steel 5.5mm side-folding hinge, steel butt plate, and a responsive push-button locking mechanism. The integrated locking and mounting components are precision-machined from hardened steel to ensure consistent alignment, secure lock-up, and long-term reliability under repeated operation.

The side-folding system provides compact storage and easier transport while maintaining structural integrity and shooting stability when deployed. Designed with proper side rail clearance for optic mounts, it remains fully functional in modern AKM configurations.

Whether customizing for performance, exclusivity, or refined aesthetics, the Exotic Padauk variant delivers a rare combination of exotic hardwood presence and dependable steel-engineered durability — crafted to meet Nord Armory standards.
