Honestly, I would try to secure the first one before taking that drastic step. Can the hinge be welded on?

Can you go with the next size larger tap and use bigger bolts? Pictures of the back of the trunion would be helpful.

fill holes with JB weld the bolt it on and let sit. It will be rock solid

Love the Triangle stock by the way!  I'll probably be ordering another hinge too sometime soon as this one is taking a beating with the constant re-torques.

Find someone who can GTAW (TiG) weld and weld the holes then anneal the welds.
Will be a lot easier to drill and tap being annealed. Did you spot drill before the drill? |

I drilled a pilot hole, but it wasn't in the right location and the difference was exagerated whe I final drilled it. Funny thing is, I was a first class fitter/welder in another life and never would have scewed something this simple up while on the clock. |

I managed to get nuts on the back side, but due to (I think) the curvature of the trunion, it won't torque down solid. It will get really snug, but after a few rounds I'll notice that the hinge/stock has rotated and gotten loose. Loctite doesn't help either.
Being pretty new to AK's I've never removed a trunion. Is it more indepth than just removing 2 rivets? Getting the rivets out is no sweat, but I no longer have access to a press or dies to form the heads. |

If you fill the holes, re-drill, & re-thread, make sure the bolts that come with the new hinge are long enough. When I got my Stormworx hinge the screws were only too short and only about three threads were engaged. It was obvious that the bolt would have pulled the threads out of the trumion. A trip to Ace Hardware and .80 cents later and the job was done. Just needed screws 3/16" longer so they went all the way threw the trunion.

You can drill the rivets (very carefully), but it's not always as easy as it sounds. I've disassembled a few, and I wouldn't be eager to perform it on a receiver I needed to re-use. Installing the new rear trunnion rivets is nearly impossible, unless you have the correct rivet squeezer. You really don't want to reinstall it with bolts. It can be done, but you'll never be happy with it. |

My hinge originally came with screws long enough to clear the trunion threads and a nut as well, but added material from welding may very well come into play. |

I was hoping I could find something like this http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/css-int-blk.htm that would work for an M92, but it's looking more and more like a weld job. |

There is a guy on there that sells 5 degree wedges that 'fix' the slant in the back of M92s. When you buy one of his wedges, it comes with a piece of machined steel that fits the curvature on the inside of the trunnion and it has two holes drilled/tapped through it that are compatible with your hinge. Basically a 1 piece 'nut' that is designed to fit that curvature. Problem solved, no welding or other fab work required. |

I have the same problem only with just one hole being over sized. I used a nut that I had to grind the sides of down to fit better in the trunnion but not the best fit. This one piece curved nut sounds perfect.

They will not come loose. Depending on how much meat there is on the trunnion, you could have heli-coiled it. |

There seems to be a bit of interest in his product, so if anyone could reach out to him and point him our way that would be a big help. Like I said earlier. I'm still waiting for the other site to approve my account but as soon as I make contact I'll let him know about the demand. I do have have his PayPal email address if anyone would like it. I haven't gotten a response from the email I sent him this week.

What does the wedge do? Any benefit to having it if I'm using a triangle stock? |

It takes into account the ~3* slant cut of the receiver and let's the stock mount in line with the barrel. |

I had a few PM's about the wildbill wedge kit so here is some pics on my M92 SBR.
This pic shows the correction of the M92's rear trunnion angle. 
This pic shows the inside of the receiver and the backing plate that is curved to sit inside the rear trunnion which is also tapped to accept the screws provided with the kit for mounting your stock mechanism in my case and ACE AR type folder. 
This pic shows a view of the stock folded up when mounted with the plate on. 
I hope this addresses everyone's concerns with this awesome wedge kit. |

Glad I stumbled on this thread, still waiting on my hinge and stock from Manticore. Got the eFiled stamp approved towards the end of January, but since I didn't want to have the stock in my possession, had to wait another month till it was in stock again. They said early to mid March, Firday morning I glanced and they were in stock to my surprise. So I ordered it. Quick question the wedge is needed if your installing the hinge on a PAP ? It's not needed for the Draco. Correct ?

Shit- I ordered a wedge and I have a manticore stock. I didn't know that the manticore already compensated for the 5 degree angle... 
The photo of the manticore triangle stock on their website on an M92 shows an angle still...are you sure? |

They said early to mid March, Firday morning I glanced and they were in stock to my surprise. So I ordered it. Quick question the wedge is needed if your installing the hinge on a PAP ? It's not needed for the Draco. Correct ? The Manticore stock is designed with the angle in mind, so the wedge isn't necessary. If you are using the Manticore hinge with any other AR style stock, then the wedge is the ticket. The Draco is square, so the wedge is not needed. Shit- I ordered a wedge and I have a manticore stock. I didn't know that the manticore already compensated for the 5 degree angle... The photo of the manticore triangle stock on their website on an M92 shows an angle still...are you sure?  |

Forget the Manticore stocks angle or Storwerkz hinge, the deciding factor is if you have a straight edge Draco you don't need the wedge, if your installing it on a PAP then you need the wedge to compensate for the angle on it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Glad I stumbled on this thread, still waiting on my hinge and stock from Manticore. Got the eFiled stamp approved towards the end of January, but since I didn't want to have the stock in my possession, had to wait another month till it was in stock again.

So I drilled and tapped one of these for a member here and it screwed on solid. Is there something I should let him know about on this wedge thing? Seemed ok to me but I don't use commie guns.
