Weekend Build

[falcon125 0]

I installed the Tapco saw pistol grip and Folding stock along with the tapco single hook trigger this weekend. Mississippi Auto Arms was great to work with although their web site could be a little more Tapco friendly. It took 2 orders to get what I needed and I was still missing the shepards crook. So I reused the original retaining spring with the original rivet.

 

I have ordered the tri rail handgaurd with vertical grip and got signed up for the MD-20 presale.

 

Thank You to every one who posted instructions and pictures.

I got the Tapco tri rail and vertical grip.

 

 

Then added the Limb Saver small grind to fit pad. Instead of grinding the stock I filled it in with black shoe goo to get as much length as possible. Then screwed on the pad. The width was still bigger than the butt so I filleted the area with black shoe goo.

Looks real nice!! Good luck with the Crapco folder though.....I seem to have a wiggly wobbly one on my 7.62x39. The flex in that thing is obscene! As soon as money allows I am throwing that piece of dooty off a cliff!!! I will Replace it with an Ace or a Romanian wire type of folder.

I'm not saying yours is bad, I may have a Lemon or something...That's why I say "good luck"

Looks like you will have a lot of fun times ahead of you.Nice job!

Thanks for the replies. I was beginnning to think there was nobody out there.

As far as the "Crapco" stock goes, I guess you get what you pay for. This being my first build I did not want to pay a lot upfront in case I screwed it all up. I did manage to break off one of the crapco screws while attaching/reattaching the stock. Those screws are tiny deck screws and not made to go in & out too many times. Although I did use a phillips bit on my drill and probably should have known better.

I emailed Tapco told them my problem and asked if they sold just that part that goes into the gun. They replied, "send in the part and we will swap it out for a new one." so I cant complain about customer service.

 

I have already had offers to buy my shotgun so I might be doing another in the near future.

I also have a buddy with a Saiga 7.62X39 who wants me to help him with his build.

Fun stuff.

 

Thanks again to everyone who posted pics and instructions.
