Quick answer
The KAS-74U Lightweight Buttstock is a buttstock attachment for KA-family rifles in DayZ. It can be found in military locations or attached to the KAS-74U, and it is compatible with the KA-101, KA-74, KAS-74U, and KA-M. Compared with other KA buttstocks, it provides the smallest dispersion decrease, but it is still better than having no buttstock because it reduces dispersion and provides a standard recoil reduction.
