Thanks for ideas, I'm leaning towards modifying the 5.45, welding Imo was always the best way to install bullet guide, even before I f'ed it up, my first attempt will be to modify 5.45, I'll let u know how it goes in a couple days when I can get around to it, ps on a weird note, it will hand cycle rounds from an ak mag with no bullet guide in place, it will be a few days before I can test fire with no bullet guide, it seems the previous owner may have messed with magazine release catch...
