Inc. The first one i bought had issues. I.O. really stood behind their product; I received a new rifle and numerous accessories for my trouble.

The rifle that I bought had a Galil fore grip on it which I liked. The replacement rifle had an I.O. bottom rail fore grip on it which I really didn't care for. I contacted I.O. and they sent me a free Galil fore grip.

To change them out, I know that you first have to raise the lever on top of the rifle and remove the gas tube assembly. Then you have to raise the bottom locking lever on the inside of the fore grip which allows you to slide the keeper plate forward allowing you to remove the bottom half of the fore grip.

My problem is with the top part of the fore grip which sits on top of the gas tube assembly. It doesn't just lift off and I really don't want to 'force' it off and break it as I may want to return to this type of fore grip in the future.

Any ideas and/or solutions to my problem will be greatly appreciated. How do I remove the part in question??? ]]> AK-47 Discussion Forum NightRider http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/need-help-change-out-ak-47c-fore-grip-51375/ <![CDATA[Haken's Yugo M76 magazine BHO issue solution]]> http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/hakens-yugo-m76-magazine-bho-issue-solution-51360/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:28:47 GMT For all of you people who get high and do drugs all day long that your brain is fried by now and can't even use a little comon sense to fix that issue with magz. Here it is:
Weld just a little in this location and then shape it with dremel tool or your meth pipe tool, and make it so that it barely clears when loading rounds, when bolts tries to nose dive the follower, the folower will get caught on that pin there. I fixed all of my magz like this and no problems so far. I have official Yugo issued military manual, and they say that is design flaw and there is no fix for it, so they simply advise soldier to just fix the follower with finger.
I am so happy that I got my education outside USA, I feel lot smarter.

My question is this, How do I stamp the indentions around the mag well, everything else looks simple enough. I've only built one before, but it was with a complete receiver.

My first impressions were that it was very rough. I didn't expect anything less honestly. So first things first, I went through the entire thing. Finish is god awful, machining is no better, and the handguards weren't even sanded all the way down. So for the price I paid it's what I expected. So to fix all these problems, I started staining the wood to a more red color, tomorrow I'll go over that with some handrubs of Tru oil. I also removed the welded barrel nut, polished all contact surfaces, straightened and polished the rails to give it a more smooth action. Did a trigger job bringing the pull to a little over 3 pounds. Drilled and tapped the rear trunnion (which has a underfolder trunnion in it) to put a sling mount. I'll post pics of everything this weekend after I finish duracoating it. ]]> AK-47 Discussion Forum sgrimm http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/just-got-draco-51338/ poly tech-v-norinco http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/poly-tech-v-norinco-51327/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:55:00 GMT Ok guys, went to the gun show last weekend.

Everyone says on the drums, load then and store them unwound. My question is what about stick magazines. An empty magazine is sort of useless for home defense. A loaded magazine might get fired at the range twice a month, so the spring is still compressed all the time. Does this ruin the spring?

This is my first build from a flat.
1) Started off with one of Curtis's (ak-builder) flats.
2) Bent it up on his jig.
3) Used his top rail scibre jig to mark off what needed to be cut out.
4) Used a dremal tool to cut the rails
5) Heat treated the pivet pin holes with a butane torch.
6) Installed the center support
7) Welded the bottom rails in.
8) Mounted the front and rear trunions
9) Mounted the trigger guard

Next steps will be to degrease, sand blast and paint.
