Yes, I used a Romy G kit after careful consideration of the locking lugs on a Yugo vs. a Romy.
I'm not as concerned about the trunion as I am about the barrel. That is a used G3 barrel that I drilled out for an AK gas port, and I sleeved the 22mm barrel for the 23mm trunion. My concern is the fact that the G3 barrel won't like the gas port hole. Only testing will tell. If it doesn't work then I'm going to get a nice long 308 barrel and lathe it to the proper spec.
The design imitates the Dragunov SVU bullpup with the external trigger bar. It looks like a shortened SVU, which was the goal. My thread on the GNA forum has a brief overview of all the build components and I am going to put all that on my website, hopefully by next weekend.
Here's the glamour shot of the build. Yes, that's the converted G3 mag:
