I found this front half assembly, has anyone bought one of these?
how is the bore ?
could i use a romainian front and rear trunion?
it says it is missing the stock ferrule
what is a stock ferrule?
what about building it into a pistol?
would a milled bulgarian front handguard fit this?
If i built this it would be a Frankenstein of a rifle!
should I stop thinking so cheap and buy a proper ak-47 or ak74 parts kit?
no
milled trunnion is different than the stamped
yugo handguards are longer then most euro com-block ak's
pistol wise still need the rest of the yugo stuff and receiver
speaking from experience regarding a yugo parts kit. unless it is a complete ready to run rifle, by the time you nickel and dime it together you could have already purchased one ready to go.
If you want a decent-good deal on a yugo see if brycomski still has a yugo he put in the for sale forum. good price for a clean, good shooting AK.
Yes you can use the milled receiver stubs and grind them down(or mill) and convert them into trunnions. Install them in the stamped reciever, drill and rivet away.
As far as handgaurds go I don't know. Personally I would leave the hand gaurds because they add to the "effect"
You could use the milled front end and install another stamped rear trunnion. I have a romanian G with a hungarian side folder. As far as the barrels go they are luck of the draw. The yugos saw lots of use and their ammo was corrosive.
Let me know if you want to go down to apex. I might want to ride along. [Beer]
does this mean you want that bbl back ? granted he does know more com-bloc than me, eh neighbor :)Quote:

After calling them, they are mail order only, don't have a store front- but they'll be at the Tanner show at the end of the month, and they said I can email them with what I'd like, and they'll bring it to the show & set it aside... (or I can put in an order and they'll ship it)
unless you know somebody that works there...
I picked up a parts kit for centerfire systems, overall it was in good shape, a typical romainian G kit, the website says that they can't guarantee that they are numbers matching but mine was, also there is a hidden fee if you pay with credit or debit card , the fee was around 7$ for my order.
charger where you thinking of milling the front part of the reciever down to make a trunion, or just to tig weld half a reciever to what is already there?

Just imagine a yugo pistol with the reciever welded back together with a homade receiver flat, with the welds not dressed at all not refinished at all.
(here comes the best part) and a grenade launching muzzle attachment and some pracice grenades. (I would call it PCP, my Politically Correct Pistol)

for a pistol, a stamped receiver is probably how I'd go.. I do have a mill, but it brings up a question- if you weld "repair plates" to the existing stub, is it now a US made receiver? I would presume it is, since Demil process made it a "non-receiver", so once it becomes complete enough to be a receiver again, if that's done in the US, then it's a US-made part..Quote:

Nope, don't need the barrel back. I want a new one.Quote:
