Changing out the stock from folding to fixed is something normally done at armory level. Maybe removing the Plastic cleaning tool box in between the stock will give you a quasi AKS-74 look.

Drill out old rivets and remove old rear trunnion that has the folding stock mechanism. Install a new trunnion (Make sure it's for the Mak90) with mounting points for a fixed stock and rivet it into place.

Or


Sell the Type 56-2 and buy a Type 56 or LCT AK as they have abit more customization parts available.

Hope this helps
I don't own and RS anymore, I am looking to pickup a new one - I'm just undecided... LCTs do look cool, but I *really* liked my old RS.

What do you think the options are for a standard fixed stock Type 56? The 56-2 sounds like more effort than I want to put in from your suggestion... I definitely can't afford a Venitco stock as cool as they seem, but a AK to AR adaptor might fit on the Type 56 full stock model?
