Pretty much as the title says: I am in need of a set of trunnions for a fixed-stock AK, but most especially a front trunnion. I also need two (2) 7.62 barrels to fit 23mm trunnions. I need 2 sets of lower rails and 2 sets of rivets as well.
I got 2 of the Bulgy kits from Sportsman's Guide, and I found once I got them that they included no trunnions at all. I have since found one set of Egyptian trunnions, so I still need one more set to make a complete AK (well, 2 complete AK's actually..)
I prefer paying with Paypal, but I can work with however you need it.
The kits I bought are the "used" ones from Sportsman's guide, and they are actually Russian stamped kits that apparently sat for long enough in Bulgaria to be called Bulgarian. In reading the reviews on SG for the "new" kits they also had, people were commenting that they still had pieces of the original Russian stamped receivers attached to the trunnions. Well, stoopid me, I go for the less expensive "used" kits of exactly the same description otherwise, and I find out then that the real difference in the kits is that the "new" kits apparently came with trunnions and the "used" kits didn't. I've managed to find one set of trunnions for a reasonable price, but I'm still needing one more set to be able to use both kits I have.
I would take a 5.45 front, if the price is right. I do have a lathe, so I can theoretically turn down a barrel.
As 1biggun mentioned you will also need to modify the mag area (needs to be widened). I have one of each of the trunnions (damaged, can't be used for gun builds) and can take pics of them side by side if that would help you see what you would need to do.
Okay, here you go. The arrows in the picture point to the two areas that would need to be widened on a 22mm trunnion in order to fit 7.62x39 double stack magazines.
Bumpity bump. I have some barrel blanks now from GM, but I still need a trunnion.
Thanks!
