Krink out of a Draco?

How hard would it be to make a krink out of a Draco Pistol? Is there enough on the BBl end to attach a Krink hider and how about the folding stock issue.I know it would have to SBR'ed
Thanks I know little about Krinks

from what ive read, the draco comes with an underfolder rear trunnion, so all you gotta do is have someone install the stock itself onto the rifle(or do it yourself if able to).

what i would do if i was you is make an AIMR clone which uses a side folder stock with a different trunnion. there's two different type of side folders you can use one common "euro style" which folds right, and another uncommon specifically romanian style which i think folds left.

as far as your muzzle threads go, i'm pretty sure thats just a standard 14x1 thread with a muzzle nut welded on (for import purposes?). on one type of AIMRs, there was a standard muzzle nut anyhow, on the other type there was a birdcage style.

the early ones came with the birdcade flashhider, the more rare romy stock and the forward pointed dong handguards (that would be your holy grail right there)
but the newer ones come with the regular muzzle nut, regular handguards and "euro-style" crutch folder. that'd be way easy to replicate. i dont think anyone would get sad if you threw the dong handguard on for good measure too unless there's some rule against that, like with regular pistols.

also its got a 100-500m rear sight. (do draco's come with the same one, im actually really curious because im helping a buddy get his correct and also me aswell at a later date).

this info is mostly coming from theakforum.net

Unfortunately, you can't legally put a "pistol grip" lower handguard on the Draco pistol without paying the money and getting the approved form back from the man. Same for putting a sidefolding (or any) buttstock on it.

Just so you know it will never be a Krink. But, turning a Draco pistol into an SBR is not that difficult.

Yes, like you said it has to be Form 1ed then you can do the job.

You really need to look at this thread and see some ideas.

SBR Draco

As you will see the Ace folder is probably the simplest way to go. Doesn't matter if you prefer the AR style buttstock or the Ace buttstock. Folding or fixed you drill 2 holes, tap those holes and mount the hardware.

If you want to go with a skeleton stock then it will need to go to the builder and the cost will go up, dramatically. Unless, of course, you can do the work yourself.

Most of us in the AK Pistol Section pretty much agree this is the easiest way of doing it.

yea, the original post said

"I know it would have to SBR'ed "- Norecoil1

so i figured that would be redundant to preach about that.

so if you threw a dong handguard on a legally SBRed rifle, theres no problems right(that' what i was getting at in my first post)???

also pretty much eveything i said would be applied to making an AIMR clone. i dont know if the OP is wanting to do this the easiest way or not. i just wrote down what i thought would be cool. like i said im kinda interested in doing this someday.

i know the dracos are brand new off the assy lines, but don't they use components from the AIMR? also (anyone who has one) does it already come with the 100-500 rear sight ramp?

as far as your krink flash hider goes, i would probly be easy to find one to fit the draco threads. yugo krinks may even be the same dimensions IDK.

The other option I might have is to buy a Krink kit and a new Receiver and have it built. The Draco doesn't look right at the muzzle end.

yah if your trying to get that AKs-74u look, than you may want to just do a kit build. thats what im gonna be doing.

but a yugo M92 kinda looks like a draco.

I guess since I ruffled your feathers on your other post you're gonna try and jab at me. That's okay, cause I can take it.

If you look at what I said I merely agreed with OPs knowledge on the Form 1, didn't preach.

I don't know if the OP wants to go the easiest route, either, but merely made the suggestion. OP can do whatever he wants.

Yes, you can put a vertical grip on a SBR, just not a pistol.

IF you want the bulgarian type flash hider on the Draco you will need to get the thread adapter. It adapts the 24mm right hand threads on the flash hider to the Draco's 14mm left hand threads.

As far as buildig a kit, good luck. If you spend much time looking you will see kits are hard to come by and if you do get one they are either without a barrel or very expensive.

Tag, you're it.

no worries bikeman.

also i have tried to search the webs for info on if these dracos are actually using AIMR components with not much luck. does anyone know? i might just have to make my own thread up in the AK pistol section of this forum, or post on another forum.

I will admit my knowledge is limited to what I have and have done. I'm not sure about the AIMR components. I'm sure if you hit the AK Pistol Section, with that question, you will get an answer. There are some very knowledgeable guys over there.

I know my next build is going to turn my Draco into a SBR like Gardner's. That is the ultimate, I believe.

My Draco did not come with an underfolder trunnion. The trunnion does occupy a lot of area in the rear, as it looks like it also reinforces the receiver back there. It would be ideal for simply drilling and tapping, then throwing on an ACE folder.

eta: My Krink and Draco:

Nothing on a Draco is correct for a "Krink", the best you can do with a Draco is an AIMS carbine.

Bolster,

Is the thread pitch on your Draco the same as a Krinkov ? I want to attach a "hose" style krink break on my SBR.

They come with 14 x 1 LH threads. I used an adapter.
