My Coldsteel based Yugo is just about finished. I worked two evenings on it, though that doesn't count the cleaning and prep work. All seems to function correctly, though I have to clean it up a little inside. I have some questions about the mag fit. It seems that when the mag is inn, the bolt binds when you try to close it. The mag is difficult to put in when the bolt is closed. This is not a Yugo mag, but I don'y think that should matter. I believe that the selector side lower rail is binding the mag and pushing it over to the extractor side a little. The mag seems to get tighter when I try to seat it the whole way in and the rail is the only thing that touches the mag. Does the lower bend in the selector side rail (Tapco rail) function as guide for the mag? Things to do yet: Cold Blue..Sling swivel installation..headspace..And get the mag to fit a little easier. All in all...on substantial gun!!!!! http://www.picyard.com/main/data/500/160yugo1.jpg http://www.picyard.com/main/data/500/160yugo2.jpg |
| GT did you filedown the left overmetal below the bolt guiderail ? Some rail kits have metal sticking out where it was bent and its usually the non ejector side.I had to use a dremal and stone to grind it down in mine,the excess metal was pushing the mag over and binding the feed lips against the bolt.I knew about it but forgot and had to dremel it out after completion and reclean the stupid thing. You might wanna look. |
That was it. I removed just enough metal and it is as smooth as silk. I forget where I got the rails, but they were really hardened. Where are you located in FL? |
