Where is the best place to get them with all of the latching mechanism and parts? Will this one do everything I need it to for a Draco SBR conversion?

Your link goes to an add-on stock for rifles with standard rear trunnions. While I've never personally converted a Draco, seems to me that once you replace the Draco's rear trunnion with the standard rear trunnion, the linked stock should be more or less a drop-in part that attaches with 1 or 2 screws. If you want more of a side-folding Krink/AK74u look to your Draco, then you might want to get something like this and make the requisite cuts (and welds) in the receiver to fit it... a much more involved process. Russian AK74s Stock Assembly Unfortunately, I don't know of a source for these at this time. And when they are available, these stock sets are expensive. Have you checked the AK Pistol Forum for ideas? |

Its a pretty involved process. You need to:
- Pay $200 tax - remove existing rear trunnion - weld up rivet holes - change angle on rear of receiver without taking off too much material - rivet in new trunnion and make appropriate cut outs for folder - mill and drill front of receiver for latch (destroys original caliber markings so they need to be re engraved) - refinish receiver I think thats it. Much easier to install an underfolder since you should already have the correct rear trunnion.

I'm sure it was pretty expensive as I know adding that folder to an already built rifle basically requires it to be completely disassembled. |

If you go through with all that hassle and expense, you might as well get a Krink "SLR107UR" and SBR it. I'm pretty sure the Draco would still come out a lot cheaper. A 107CR would be closer in price and configuration. The 107UR's and 107CR's are getting pretty scarce!

$400 draco $200 tax stamp $200 - 300 for the triangle folding stock assembly $400 for the work/finishing I would assume? $1200 - 1300 for a SBR Draco folder The photo looks pretty damn sweet. $400 is kinda steep, I know people that would do it all for around 100-150. |

Where is the best place to get them with all of the latching mechanism and parts? I have a complete Bulgarian triangle folder, still sealed in the plastic wrap (from KVAR I believe) with all the parts and pieces. I bought it with some other AK stuff about 10+ years ago. I have never opened it and I haven't laid eyes on it for at least 9 years. It's packed in a secure, climate controlled storage unit and it will be a major pain in the neck to go and dig it out.  But I could be tempted if the price was right.  What's a realistic top dollar price i could get? Keeping in mind that I don't need to sell it. I can't use it here in the Peoples' Republic of NY so I could be tempted.

Same here... I have a COMPLETE Bulgarian triangle folder kit that came from K-Var.. and a complete, new Bulgarian barrel assembly in 5.56 (also from K-Var) that I have had laying in my parts storage for about 7 or so years..

I had some time this afternoon so I did some searching. Here's what I have:
I was a little off on the time frame. I thought I bought this about 10 years ago, but I had a note attached to the package from April of 2004. In any event, it has remained in storage, unopened since then. PS: A couple of guys have sent me PMs. I have to figure-out what I'm going to do, but I will get back to you.
