I was just curious as to what parts kits fit the best with Ewbanks receivers with the trunion holes pre-drilled? Will the Romanian kits work?

I found that they all need some adjustment with the predrilled holes. I had the best luck with the UF receiver.  Fit was the closest and needed the slightest amount of trimming. If you can, drill your own holes.

Wouldn't it be easier to modify the trunion to fit the receiver, since the trunion is more solid where as the receiver is just heat treated sheet steel. Maybe it's just me, but that seems like a better idea than messing with the already thin and brittle steel.

I've never done any adjustments to the trunnions. I've found it easier to adjust the receiver for fit. Much thinner and easier to work with.

What is a "UF receiver", and where might they be obtained?

Receiver for an ak with an underfolding stock. DPH carries them but are waiting for another shipment.

Just finished my first build on a Eubanks the other day I didn't have any problems with the trunnion holes ling up that about .5 sec and a drimal couldn't fix.  just hundredths of an inch on 2 holes.

i would much rather take a small rat tail file to open up the hole...than i would to try to drill new holes to line up with the trunnion in a reciever with no holes

i hated the first ewbanks i used..but after figuring & tweaking.......good reciever !!
