[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Draco pistol - regular versus C model ??

Posted: 2/26/2020 4:12:52 PM EDT

I have two Draco pistols, one with the C designation (SN 1968 BL3xxx) and one without (SN DC-6xxx-10 RO). I believe that I got them both from Centerfire in 2010. Can someone refresh my memory as to the difference with the C model, and which one is perceived to be more valuable? THANKS !

UPDATE - I didn't search enough before posting, but now I've found this thread that does a good job of describing the differences - https://www.ar15.com/forums/ak-47/-/98-133316/?#

I guess now I'm just wondering which one is more valuable in today's market - THANKS AGAIN!

IIRC - The “C” was built on a rear trunion cut for a UF stock. Even though it is covered by the sheet metal receiver, it would be the easiest to SBR. I believe that is why they commanded a small premium.

Thanks very much. Turns out, the Draco that I've been shooting is the regular Draco, and the Draco-C is the one that's been sitting on the shelf - never been shot - so I'll sell the Draco-C and keep the regular Draco.

I SBRed my DRACO-C 1968 sb37_ _. Thought it was worth more to keep a pistol, but it wasn't anything special. Trunnion is there already, so now it's back to what it started life as, a nice underfolder. Extremely overgassed with a can on, trying to figure the best way to remedy it. Was no easy task getting the YH QD mount aligned on it either, threads are non concentric.

Well balanced shooter, my favorite.

What are you looking to get for yours?

I wouldn't pay more for a "C", but I am not looking to SBR one either, so I think it would be a small premium for the right buyer.

Not to thread hijack, Conan you need a KNS adjustable gas piston. Worked wonders for my suppressed Draco SBR.

For the Draco it is the AGP-A-7 I bought one but haven't installed it yet, however, it is correct length.
