re-model 11 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 here are a few pics of the bullet guide...I used a Romanian from a FUBAR donor trunnion...I riveted it in, it took a little fitting and grinding with the dremel... I then used a modified post in my long rivet jig to set the rivet( I had a backing plate slid into the underside of the receiever)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

re-model 11 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Damn fine work... how's it group? this is one of my favorite 7.62x39 guns that I own...the 74 brake keeps the muzzle down range for quick follow up shots. I shot a 6.5" 5 shot group @100yards off hand last week at the range using wolf classic FMJ . I am sporting a Kobra on it now, but it is sighted in for 25m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
