I am so confused, I have been building Romys for a while. I ordered a Yugo M70 kit ($120) from Apex a couple of weeks ago. It said it came with no butstock (which didn't bother me). So I just got into it tonight, I started to demill. I noticed there is no front or rear trunnion. WTF, it looks like a solid piece of metal for both ends. There are NO RIVETS and no trunnions! Am I missing something.

Well that clears it all up. I have a milled kit. So, there are two options I guess. 1. Get trunnions for rear and front to do the build. 2. Try and grind (custom make) the front trunnion / rear, to fit in a new stamped rec. Then drill and rivet the trunnions in place. HAS ANYONE EVER USED A MILLED FRONT AND REAR TRUNION AND PUT IT IN A STAMPED REC? CAN IT REALLY BE DONE??? CAN YOU JUST DRILL AND RIVET, OR WILL THE RIVETS BE TOO SMALL? |

here is my pictorial on how to convert a milled to stamped receiver.you can weld,screw,or drive screw it together.you can buy a milled receiver from orf for $249.or you can grind down the rear milled stub and use it for the rear trunnion,and buy a sramped front trunnion for the front.you will have to headspace and drill a oversize barrel pin if you go stamped front trunnion.MILLED TO STAMPED PICTORIAL here are pics of a milled yugo that the rear milled stub was ground down for a trunnion,and a stamped front trunnion was used.
