zak123 most "folding" stocks have been drilled and pinned so they are permanently in the open position. Now as far as hunting with an AK, my question is why would you want to? The AK 47 is a fine combat rifle built tough and to loose tolerances to allow it to operate in almost every adverse condition. Its reliability does not however lend to its accuracy nor its handiness in the hunting woods. The battle sights are also not condusive to accuracy. The 7.62X39mm cartridge is a bit behind the 30-30 Win ballistically, but is capable of cleanly taking game within its limitations. Use your best judgement, but you can buy a decent hunting rifle for the cost of an AK variant.
