jamesavery22 54 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Stock rifle. Ready to be dismantled recoil string, bolt carrier, bolt, piston, and rear stock removed FCG removed "clean" receiver receiver taped up and ready to be cut The stainless steel used for the iz-109 is much thicker than the iz132. Close to double. Naturally it was hard to cut and file. Went through a few cutting wheels and the little filing took a lot longer. Heres the result: Pic of the latch I built from scratch. Almost done. needs some more filing, hole for the pin and hole for the spring All parts done. Hung up for painting First coat for the receiver Up close of the latch after first coat of high heat engine paint Receiver & barrel completely stripped. All springs and most pins removed. Notice the gas cap/screw's retaining pin & spring are removed. Now its ready for baking Misc parts ready for baking. Trigger guard is cut and ready. Tried to mimic the S12C Edited November 11, 2008 by jamesavery22 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesavery22 54 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) My quality riveting setup Rivets all done PG, trigger guard, and stock installed I used socket cap screws to install the trigguer guard. Instead of having two more nuts in the receiver I just taped the receiver for the two front holes. 6-32 Mods of the hammer and retaining plate. Lots of grinding to get them to fit. Had to grind the leg to get the BHO lever to fit and had to grind below the face of the hammer so its fits the S-12 FCG installed Finished product close up of the folding stock's latch. Ended up using a spring from a nice pen. Not a clickie pen but a nice ink pen. Didnt even know it had a spring in it. Very stiff so it worked great after hacking at it a little. Notice the bolt hold open tab is filed so its flush with the receiver when its engaged Bros Edited November 11, 2008 by jamesavery22 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cellsworth 21 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 It looks like you did a really fine job! The pictures should really help those planning similar modifications, or even a basic conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Superhawk138 202 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Awesome pictorial write up, good work. Did you use a reciever stub to get you measurements for the rear trunnion and latch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesavery22 54 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Whats a receiver stub? I used the pic thats floating around that has all the measurements. Just masking taped up the end and drew out the measurements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just masking taped up the end and drew out the measurements. Some times when you buy the folding stock with trunnion hardware its still attached to the cut receiver stub. Good build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HillBilly2 9 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 No, You did NOT crush the trunnion rivets with a chinese C clamp..........did you????? I'm going to be doing the same thing soon. I'm been looking for another latch, I'd prefer to buy one, but at least I can see that one can be made. Very good build, congratulations Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesavery22 54 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) The folder did come off a hacked receiver stub. So had to de-rivet the stock trunnion and the trunnion that came with the folder. Not too fun. Yeah used a cheap hacked up c-clamp, same one I used for my iz-132. I was going to buy a latch but even a 2nd hand one was $70. Took a few days but I already had the aluminum so cost will close to nil The square hole & pin hole are the same size & dimensions as stock. Just made the latch go far enough back so you dont have to hack the stock to fit. I followed a lot of sKott's conversion and saw that was one of the problems. edit: what solvent do people use to get the lead out of the barrel? After putting some sluggers through there was a decent amount of build up. After a few hours of cleaning there is still some left. I dont have any solvents though so just a brass brush and some rags. Has to be an easier way... Any suggestions? Edited November 12, 2008 by jamesavery22 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesavery22 54 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Is Break-Free Bore Cleaning Foam any good at getting rid of the gunked up lead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Looks great man! To get the lead out, I use a bronze brush with the cleaning rod chucked in a drill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HillBilly2 9 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Looks great man! To get the lead out, I use a bronze brush with the cleaning rod chucked in a drill. +1, Also I'll wrap a little 0000 steel wool around the brush if it's really nasty. That'll make the bore look like a mirror! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesavery22 54 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thanks guys. I got a brass brush from cheaper than dirt but I dont have a rod for it. Didn't know it'd have a completely different size threading than my pistol ones. So thats on the "to buy" list. Like that idea much better than any chemicals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KrisFox 69 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I did not know that the Triangle stocks are interchangeable with the 100 series stock. Good to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nycGUNguy 61 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Awesome job there, James! Great writeup and is a tribute to those of us who are brave enough to do our own conversions. Wish I could do that style conversion here in NY! Congrats and have fun with it. I like the full stock on it. nyclu3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raoul_Duke 113 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Wow, I can't believe I just now saw this . . . Great job jamesavery22!!! And I personally like the new stock better too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if you don't want to do that, get a tornado brush (google it) it work's great with your favorite solvent/cleaner or whatever. Great job!!
