Got my first AK....basic questions

Hi Guys. Your typical AR15 guy here. Eat, drink, sleep with my AR.

First post here. Hope y'all doing well.

Got myself a Riley RAK-47-C-SF cause I like buying guns and storing them, never to see or use them for the next 100 years. What can I say; that's my weird hobby.

1) Can some one please, point me to a simple beginners user manual for my AK please? The Riley box says that I can find a manual online, but I can't. I don't want to guess how the AK works. I rather pretend this is my first rifle than just guess how stuff works or how stuff is disassembled etc.

2) The rifle has a foldable triangular stock. I want to change it to an Underfolder stock. I looked on google and I am not sure why I cant find a lot about how to switch from a triangular to underfold stock. Must be google's search AI in control freak mode today.

Thanks all for the replies!
Be Well!

1) Any manual for an AKM will teach you whatever you need to know about how your rifle works... Google should be able find that for you
2) You are stuck with the side folder, your current receiver is cut and drilled for a side folder rear trunnion. No feasible way to change that for an under folder trunnion.

Insert that in the search box, and subscribe.

Reconsider your life choices and repent.

This journey done correctly is not about who you WERE or ARE, but what you WILL BE.

Finland Red, Egypt White Lyrics by Sisters of Mercy (streetdirectory.com) <- this song IS the manual. Listen. Absorb. Understand.

Ty for the manual. I did see it before. I am being totally honest, that manual felt like it was missing 50 more pages when compared to my AR manual. That's why I came here and asked you guys....cause that manual looked like it was missing a bunch of stuff on cleaning/ disassembly etc.

Riley got back to me and sent the same manual. LOL.

I guess the AK is simple enough for a 5 page manual. Thanks again all!

One quick note, with the safety ON, you can press check for a round in the chamber by pulling the charging handle until it hits the safety lever. Thats one feature of the AK platform that took me a bit to learn about, lmfao
