Very nice and traditional! Tom Sawyer engraving and re-weld right? I was lucky and got in line, in time to have him do mine as well (what...back in April??) I should have mine back from Sledgehammer in a couple weeks...I took a far less traditional approach with mine but I think the results may be worth it. None the less - love your M92!! Take it out and shoot it / break it in!! see if you can chrono some rounds through it as it seems some folks are reporting very minimal FPS losses through the Yugo 10" barrel over the normal 16" barrel |
That would be true! The sights in my 2005 kit were awesome. After my build, Im not sure if something used to clean the parts...or the test fire jarred the tritium capsules loose, but they had like fallen deeper into the sight blade. I was able to pick them out with a paperclip. The front one looked like it was half full. I called Trijicon who referred me to Tool Tech Gunsight. They inspected and replaced only the front capsule. They re-epoxy'ed the rear capsule back in place. Wow, guys thought the sights looked good in those kits, you should see what Tool Tech did to make mine look amazingly bright!

is the overall length measurement need to be with the flash hider removed for the form 1 paperwork wouldnt it need to be with it on since the FH would be on there? |
Well you submit a Form 1 before you build it. So, if you did this and just never built it, it would be an SBR if a time comes when they are further prohibited to build. Then you can still put it together. The bad would be if you had one on a Form 1, then never built it, you couldnt sell the parts separate unless you requested to have it removed from the NFA list. That would be a big waste of $. In this case the barrel is 10". |
I had Tom Sawyer engrave mine under the trigger guard area, centered, of my Armory/Global 1.0mm receiver (obviously before the trigger guard was riveted in place) |
I *think* I can envision that. I was thinking of sending mine to Orion Arms to have them engrave the SBR markings, plus the selector notches and letters. |
I'd send you a pic of it but its still at my builders  Look at the bottom of the receiver, holding the barrel trunnion end away from you. Note the orientation of the Armory engraving up by the front end. The NFA engraving I had done was oriented the same way right under where the trigger guard goes and in front of the actual cut out for the trigger and behind where the trigger guard is riveted to the receiver. I had the engraving centered left to right (using the natural edge of the receiver) and top to bottom (using the edge of the trigger group hole and the edge of where the trigger guard (I had to mock it up so I could make a pencil mark for that edge since the trigger guard isn't actually riveted) Damn I guess a picture would be worth a thousand words in this case  ETA - I had the selector filled in and relocated but I skipped the selector markings because mine isn't going to be anything close to original when I am done. Thats all I am going to say for now

Name listed centered from front to back of trigger guard on underside picture the trigger here with mag release to this side (right) City and State here centered If this makes sense. I like it. Its not up near the Armory logo. So its basically on the underside on either side of the triggerguard. Original selector stop welded. New ones added and Tom Sawyer MFG did engravings. |

Only other thing I could add with out a pic is that there is two basic ways of AK SBR engraving around the trigger guard. One is to engrave the full name to one side of the trigger guard and parallel with the receiver walls - city & state go on the other side of the trigger guard and parallel with the receiver walls. This is the more common way that I have seen and Tom Sawyer was more familiar with. This method can be engraved with the trigger guard in place since no engraving ever crosses under the trigger guard. I went with something different of course I ran two lines (name & city/state) perpendicular to the receiver walls and centered up on the sheet metal directly infront of the trigger and under the trigger guard.Damn, a single pic or two would make it so easy to see... |

WOW! Sabre223 that is a great looking gun. I’ve got a 5,45 Bulgarian kit I want to build, but just started thinking that I ought to pick up one of the M92 kits too. I think your gun seals the deal. What finish is on the metal, just park?
oh please do tell. I'm thinking an M92 with Krinkov style sidefolder and different booster. |
| Its slightly off, but rub on a little oil / lube and its hard to tell. The kit has smooth blued steel and the receiver I got from Tom Sawyer Manu. was blasted to a matte finish before it was hot blued, so it has that blasted texture under the bluing. It gives it character. The original stock and misc parts all have slight shade variations, so it turned out good...I think! |
