Another rear trunnion. Specifically a "fixed stock, single tang trunnion".

Not going to be a clean install. Completely different trunions. Rear receiver angle is also different. ANYTHING is doable, but the cost to benefit on this one is pretty over balanced.

I don't care about the angle. It'll be pretty easy to shim that up (as far as looks). Are you suggesting it might affect function (which I agree is completely possible) It's a pistol, so the underfolder trunnion is virgin and only 3 small rivet holes to have welded up. ETA: If it isn't possible, I can either sell the Zhukov or buy a Draco...

Try the Manticore setup for M92's OP, just got my optic topcover in for it, awesome handguard/optic solution.

The draco has the correct back to work with the Magpul, a much better solution. Don't get me wrong, I'd go Magpul with my M85 in a heart beat IF it would fit correctly. As it is, with the M85/92 pistols your best bet it is the Manitcore drilled into the rear trunion directly.

The reason the price got bumped was having to weld up the rear of the receiver, the old rivets, and then drill and install the new trunion. Basically a complete rework of the receiver rear. Your are better off starting with a different gun than a M85/92.
But yeah, that IS very sexy. I looked at cutting the Magpul stock right in front of the hinge and then bolting that onto a drilled M85 trunion. Did not look feasible. |

No room in the safe for another gun (and I have 2 or 3 that need optics before I go buying another AK, much less Midwest handguards and associated paraphernalia)... So, I'm probably going to have Jeff do it. |

My Draco is off having the trunion pulled and replaced with a standard AKM one at the moment.
A Zhukov is on the list of stocks to acquire Eta: Jim at JBI is doing the work. Shoot him an email and see if he can do a M92 |

JBI Armory in Sanger, TX. Jim is on point with anything AK. Wait time might be long, but he knows what he is doing.
I've got an M92 SBR that I drilled for an ACE AR stock folding adapter. Promptly pulled it off and sold it to put on a Zhukov. Picked up the new stock yesterday and looked it over pretty well. The angle is negligible; honestly I didnt even know about the rear receiver angle until after I had stamped my gun, installed the stock, then read it on a forum. The stock itself is badass btw. I have a TIG welder and love to tinker, so This will be a good project for me, just need to get a new trunnion and rivets. |

His lead time that was quoted was quite reasonable.
Of course the work I'm having done is minimal: Drill rivets Remove trunion Weld holes Install new trunion I'm going to refinish it when it gets back so I'd say it's a pretty quick job for him once it's my turn in queue. |

There is another option that might actually be cheaper. Carefully drill out your rivets and reinstall the front trunnion, etc. in a new Nodak receiver with a fixed stock trunnion in the rear. Then sell your M92 receiver. There are still virgin kits out there and I'm sure one of those kit builders would rather build it on a Zastava M92 receiver. Depending on how much work you do yourself, you'd probably break even, maybe even make some money. Even without selling the receiver, a new receiver is probably cheaper than the work necessary to convert the original.

Mine is already Form 1ed SBRized. I cannot remark another receiver with the same markings and destroy the current one.
I think I'll need to sandblast the receiver before welding though. When I had it engraved, after correcting the misspelling of my city, the engraver had it ceracoated black. Which would be fine...if the ceracoater didn't do an absolute shit job. Its waaaaay too thick (some original markings are so filled in they're barely readable), theres a spot he missed on a corner, and top cover was down because the front corner is uncoated from being shielded by the cover. It's a serious bush league finishing job. I would have sent it back but they had already had my rifle for about 7 months so I said hell with it. |

Anyone tried this combo? What all would it take to make it work? I used a Magpul MOE for the AR15. I did this little project a few years ago and it still runs great. The Zhukov is designed for the AKM which will have a shorter top cover by 1.5inches. So you'll have a huge space, doing it with the Mloc Moe, you can dremel out what you don't need.

After looking mine over, I don't think mine has a 6 degree angled rear. It's pretty flat, just like other AKs. In my pics of old configuration it doesn't seem bad, even with the stock folded. An angled rear would be very obvious as the stock would be covering the top cover hinge; it looks more angled because of the cheek riser, look at the buffer tube to top of stock angle. Damn near parallel with the bore. Cheek riser is for the Leupy Deltapoint I have now but not at the time of the pic. This is a really sweet rifle.

Wish someone made a 5.75" cone flash hider...
Would look more authentic and I could ditch the fake can, without having to put this thing on NFA registry (it's my truck gun and I sometimes go across TX/LA border with it). I just dropped CNCWarrior this idea via email. Hopefully something comes of it. |

got it today. Looks good. Everything seems to work.
I'll be working on attaching the stock, mounting and leveling the Midwest Industries Scope mount. Now trying to decide how I want this thing finished. Probably Cerakote. I've really liked the pics I've seen of the rifles finished with a matte blue gray, so I might go that route. Also considering the OD green route. Below is a shot (shamelessly stolen from WayneOne) of one of the best looking AK74s, IMO, I've ever seen. 
I might have to buy/build a 74 just to clone that. I might steal the color scheme for my M92.

How about new Zhukov-S for Yugo (see recent Magpul catalog)? Don't know if they have actually hit the market, or if they are a viable alternative.
I am a complete AK rookie with PAP (AR guy), but grabbed one back when they were cheap at Classic Arms. Waiting for tax stamp; installed four-piece Bulgarian and detent from CNC Warrior, and ALG trigger. |

I have a M85 with the 1.5 receiver. I installed a Yugo 1.5 trunion and I am running the Yugo Zhukov stock. It works VERY well. I just put some rivets in the front holes to fill them and drilled the two new cross ones. I left the upper rear ones as they really don't affect anything. The Yugo trunion also has a rivet through the grip lug piece, very secure.
