Eh...kind of...but not really.



Materials used:
- Magpul Remington 870 forend
- wood paintbrush handle
- 2 hex screws with washers
- lock nut
- extruded U nut
- painter's tape, black spraypaint

Tools used:
- Dremel with cutting disk, grinder, sanding wheel
- Palm sander
- Cordless drill

I chose the rear of the Rem 870 forend to become the front of my Mini Draco handguard for several reasons.  The rear half is more angled at the top, which compliments the Mini Draco's lines and looks better...it has a longer lip at the bottom, which acts as a hand stop/finger guard...it has more ribs, which provide good grip...the vent/accessory holes are in better positions...and there's less material on the inside that needs to be taken out, resulting in a cleaner look.

Obviously, the first step was to determine the approximate length and cut off the excess with the Dremel (wrapped painter's tape around the outside to mark where to cut).  Then sanded the edges down nice and even/smooth with the palm sander.  Next, I cut out the "guts" with the Dremel.  I didn't go crazy and cut everything out...I took my time and only cut what was absolutely necessary, to give it a nice snug fit around the barrel, ensuring both sides were completely even.  You really don't need to take out as much as you would think.

To attach the rear of the Magpul handguard to the receiver, I found an old paintbrush with hardwood handle, that at its widest point was only slightly wider/thicker than the attachment point of the Mini Draco's original wood handguard.  Removed the bristles and the brass that held them, then cut the end of the handle off, leaving a couple inches to attach it to the handguard itself.  Cut/shaped/sanded my piece of paintbrush handle until it fit snugly inside both the Magpul handguard and Mini Draco receiver, then drilled a hole through the handle end, attaching it to the handguard through the preexisting accessory slot with a hex screw and lock nut (spraypainted it black before attaching)

To attach the front of the Magpul handguard, I measured and drilled a hole lining up with the threaded hole on the bottom of the FSB that was used by the factory wood handguard.  There's a channel inside the Magpul handguard along the bottom, and I found an "extruded U nut" (not sure what size, sorry) that I hammered into the channel, lining it up with the hole in the handguard and the hole in the FSB.  This provided proper spacing between the FSB and handguard, and ensured the attachment point was both strong and rigid.  I then secured the front of the handguard with a button head hex screw (same thread as factory screw, cut to proper length) and washer.

Overall, I am amazed at how well it turned out.  It is absolutely rock solid and looks & feels incredible, as if it was originally designed for the Mini Draco and not some other firearm.  The project would've only taken an hour if I wanted to rush and do a "good enough" job, but ended up taking probably 3 hours total (with a LOT of eyeballing and test fitting), because I wanted it to be as close to perfect as possible.

Finally finished my SBR don't know if I'm gonna keep the hand guard yet but I do like them they look good.  And yes the top cover comes completely off got a grenade style pin in it got it from ak builder I think.  Manticore Arms Nite brake, Magpul grip, ACE folding mech, Magpul CTR, and custom made wedge to correct the funny receiver angle.

Finally picked up a Draco-C couple days ago, surprised how accurate it shot

Some shooting with my new m85 today, old eyes not as sharp these days....sigh

Just picked this up today...


Drilled, tapped and installed the ace folding adapter and SBX brace on the mini draco.





More parts inbound.

Century US-Made Milled C39 Pistol. It's a work in progress.



SB-47 Brace
Tapco G2 trigger
Krebs enhanced safety for milled receivers
FAB Defense PTK
Hogue grip
FastFire 3 in Attero Arms mount with protective hood
RapidFireTek brace spacer and anti-rotation doohickey
Blue Force Gear Burnsed Socket on other side of SB-47 for a QD rear sling mount
Tapco AK Muzzle brake

New to me, nothing special but it's mine. Put some poly on the handguard, and that's about it. Using some two-sided velcro for a spacer since I have long arms. Debating whether or not it could be viable as a mount for a single point lanyard (it is a pistol after all).

Thinking about taking one of the Thermold mags that came with it and going "fakelite". Saw some pics and the person was using Rustoluem Satin Cinnamon. It didn't look half bad for not a real bakelite mag. If I do, I'll post a pic.

Took a 1911 barrel bushing wrench and made myself a Single Point Sling Mount for the SB47. Check the AK Pistol/SBR Front Page "DIY Single Point Sling Mount".

Any idea why I can't see my images embedded? It has the proper IMG html tags.

If using photo bucket, I'll hit the image icon, it'll the say "Copied". I then go to the "Insert Tags", click on the image icon there. When the screen pops up, I delete the highlighted "http://" then paste the link into the line and hit ok. For some reason, I get a double of the link, so I delete one of them out. I'll click Preview so that I can see if the image is embedded before submitting. There may be a quicker way, but it works for me.

Delete the "i." From your link and use img tags, not url tags.

Finally converted my SLR107 CR into a AK104 SBR. I did the barrel cut and crowning myself via the tutorial in the Bulgarian section.

My yugo with a few modifications.
