Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have a Yugo underfolding AK and I really like that setup. I'm considering trying to adapt it to a different rifle. I see that center fire systems sells a yugo underfolding stock, but it doesn't come with the trunnion. http://centerfiresystems.com/STKUF.aspx I've never attempted to take the stock of my M70 apart, and really don't intend to, so I have no idea what really goes into the trunnion. Is it just a chunk of metal with a hole in it or is there some more machining involved? Would it be a big deal to make one with a drill press or a vertical mill with basic tooling? Does anyone have any pictures of one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
armory 142 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Sent link in PM. Easy to take M70 U/F mechanism apart. All kinds of Youtube vids on it. Something you should learn, if you own one. Love my Yugos BTW, nothing finer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm digging my yugo too. UTG rails, UTG foregrip, UTG flash light, and Hogue grip (hopefully that's not TOO tacti-cool for this crowd). Its just a HEAVY monster. It "feels" twice has heavy as a WASR. Good thing I'm not carting it around the jungle! Its the night time raccoon pounder... Thanks for the link! I'm certainly going to dig deeper on the topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akastormi 617 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 You can find surplus Yugo rear trunions, or a complete stock set if you hunt. A US made m70 underfolder trunion is gonna cost you @ $75. The thing you need to remember, most Yugo's were built on a 1.5mm receiver. The rear trunion will be to narrow to install in a Saiga receiver. That said...... It is doable.... with thin sheet metal shims on both sides. A Romanian underfolder assembly would be most likely the cheapest way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yup, that was the plan... It may have changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
