[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Rear Trunion Question

Have a stamped Polish AKM pattern rifle and the rear trunion is solid, unlike the picture below
I wanted to know if anyone else has a solid trunion in their rifle, it made the buttstock removal very difficult not being able to insert a screwdriver and pry it out

This is what mine looks like

Parts are 1981 circle 11 Polish

Some are solid, some have the hole like your picture, some have cut outs on the side, AK 74's don't have a middle, etc. I have some of all of them, but don't remember what goes with what country.

I can take a pic and post it , but it's solid with very small cutouts on the side

Removing the Polymer buttstock I had was quite difficult but eventually got it out, used a punch and a rubber mallet

Every Pic I've seen was like the one above and figured the solid ones with small cutouts were an aberration

Stocks can be hard to remove. I usually put the stock in a padded vice, then wiggle and pull the rifle till it comes out. This usually works, but you never know.
