Update Dec 14 2005
--------------------------------------------------------
On my days off, so alot of work has been done. And the pistol grip is waiting at my post office so I'll have it mounted tomorrow.
Quite a few changes have been made to the reciever since last update. Rivets have been installed (I know, I'm missing one by the rear but it'll go on tomorrow), with the appropriate Russian layout dictating grounddown/round rivets.
Also the pistol grip collar has been hacksawed off and everything filed down in preparation for the pistol grip install. Lastly the tab that interfaces with the trunnion has been removed, as I need to fabricate a complete new on and the dimensions are all wrong to keep it.
The AKSU trunnion being quite different from a AK47, of course some material removal was in order.
Here's the trunnion after all that. Still needs to be built up a bit on top, with the pivot point for the rear sight installed...
Hopefully will have a shot with the Guarder grip tomorrow.
