Well i have an AMD-65 kit im building into a pistol. I have the standered amd-65 rear trunion. I was going to cut off the buttstock and use JBweld to secure the tab peice that goes into that indent. Would this be a good solution. (i dont have access to a welder)

alright, and heres a pic of it mocked up.

i used an extra from ar15 std. buttstock, mig welded it with loop vertical on left side. you could drill and tap the rear of trunion and use it's mounting hole to bolt it in any direction or let it swival.

last 1 i did i drilled a hole all the way threw
then used a mikes swivel and put a nut on the back side
worked really well
