AK / NFA smith in middle TN

[csaxj3]

ive got a SBR Draco that's been an excellent gun.

Currently I have the stormwerkz hinge / manticore triangle folder on it.

What I'd like to do is have the factory trunion removed, holes welded up, and install a fixed stock AKM trunion in place so I can use a fixed stock or other stock options based on a standard AKM trunion.

Anyone got a heads up who could do the work local to Nashville? I'd send it off to one of the AK smiths but I'm not shipping a NFA item.

I am going to do the same thing.

 

I am going to drill out the rivets to remove the Draco trunion then install the AKM trunion and drill and tap it for screws to hold it in place.

Are you going to use screws as a stop gap or are you going to rivet the trunion in place?

Going to forgo the reweld?

Screws in the back aren't all that bad an idea. Not much flex back there to cause an issue. However, Toth Tool makes a rivet tool for bolt cutters that makes it real easy to rivet, especially the back end.
