So after the video about the Draco SBR on here by Military Arms Channel, I was won over as to be my first SBR project. It just makes sense that the Draco is built from the ground up to work at that size and I already have a 16" RRA AR-15 that I'm tricking out so I don't need a second AR.
So here she is now, but she'll be a-changin' after I get some paper work started:
I picked this up at Beech Grove Firearms, on curraheegun's recommendation. I already have all the replacement upgrades I want lined out on MidwayUSA's site... but of course the parts are all on back order, oy. In the mean time I decided to take the gun down, like all the way down. Since this is my first AK platform, it was an experience, but man, these really were designed by a solider. Love the take down, and getting the trigger group out wasn't insanely hard at least. My roommate is a learn-as-you-go engineering type, so I let him handle all the springs and retention pins, haha.
The trigger group and rails were crusted over in cosmoline which gave the trigger pull a very gritty feel. After breaking it all down I soaked and scrubbed the parts with Hoppes 9 and a brass brush, and basically did a "trigger job" myself with a polisher on any metal parts that rubbed next to each other, and then laid down some white gun grease on the rails after picking out the cosmo crust. She cycles smooth as ever and the trigger pull is just as good as my NM 2 Stage on my Rock River. The staging isn't as good of course, but it's there and has a clean break. I'm totally satisfied with this piece of Romanian hardware... whose name is now Katja.
Sorry for the long post, just excited and wanted to share my story. I just need curraheeguns to help me with the paper work and I'll update this if I get the parts I want finally.
