Just an after thought....will this work?
Amazon.com: UTG Model 47 Side Folding Stock Adaptor: Sports & Outdoors_
Then i could mount a pignose adaptor to the trunnion like this one?
STOCK CAR15 PIGNOSE ADAPTER-SAIGA/AK47 - $18.95
Pignose....................... $18.95
UTG Folding mechanism $17.95
................................._________
...................................$36.90
The ace folding mechanism is $75.00
Would the UTG folding mechanism with the pignose adaptor work just as good?
That would "work," but the hinge would be extended past the rear of the gun by the depth of the pig nose and/or the length of the male threads on the adaptor.... it would look a little funny to me, and who knows where the the stock would be when folded? The Ace solution is a known quantity; the UTG/pignose combo is ???
Given the choice between Ace and UTG, I'd go with Ace every time and, in your case, it would not only be stronger it would also look better (IMO)
Ya i didn't think about it sticking out farther. It would look pretty weird. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. The ace it is....
mammynun, my project should be done in about 2 weeks if your still interested in seeing the final result.
Yeah, I really want to see the barrel extension. I'm not going to "rifle-ize" my Draco, but I though about it for a while! I was going to do the Ace folder with a MOE on the back, and a 2" bbl extension and a http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bi...=kx3556p&cat=141&page=1&search=&since=&status= silver soldered onto the front. When I added up the costs involved, I decided I'd get an AK-74 instead. I could have modded my Draco cheaper, but the way I wanted it to look was as expensive as a new rifle, and I wanted a 5.45x39 anyway!
