The AK Rear Trunnion Side Folder Latch Hook is a pivotal component in the assembly of AK rifles equipped with side-folding stocks. This latch hook is instrumental in securing the side-folding stock in both the folded and extended positions, contributing to the stability and functionality of the firearm.

Key features and functions of the AK Rear Trunnion Side Folder Latch Hook include:
