Metal cut for AK

[peteNW503]

I installed a brace using an under the pistol grip adapter but it is about 1/4 inch too long. The rear of the trigger is at times getting stuck. Does anybody know any shops that could cut my adapter 1/4 inch for me?

I'd just spend like $15 at harbor freight for a corded angle grinder and zip it down, then polish and repaint the surface. Bet it's a 10 minute job tops

Sound advice will do! Any idea what size grinding wheel I should get?

Depends on the grinder. 4-4.5" is pretty common with the cheap ones. That size of a job a 3" disk would be just fine and you could always just pick up an arbor and 3" disk... and just use your drill.



The cost of a HF grinder can be cheap but you still need to buy disks, anyway.

Something like this pack would do. (pack of 3" and arbor included)

Amazon.com

* Just an example. Those are decent disks for small jobs, but there may be packs with fewer disks for less or HF probably has a similar smaller pack of disks + arbor... or small pack of 3"ers and an arbor sold separate on the cheap.

Just your basic 4 1/2" grinding disc will more than do the job. Obviously, you'll want the part you're working on taken off the gun... Don't wanna bugger the receiver. Heck, you could probably just massage the area directly in contact with the trigger instead of the full length

About 15 minutes with a bastard file and some sandpaper will clean it right up.

You know why they call it a bastard file? Because when you slip and mess up your knuckles you say, "you bastard!"

I always thought it was because a job looks like it will only take a couple minutes, but you grind and grind... and you "think" you are grinding it level... but 30 minutes later you're tuckered out and it finally fits... only to find it's not quite square. "Ya BASTARD!!"

I cut a bit to much off oh well it's really on there and it cost me no money. I work in a warehouse breaking seals all day I thought hell that can't be much thicker than the seals I break so I used a bolt cutter and it cut through like butter although clearly I cut a bit too much off I can still deal with it and it no longer touches the trigger

Glad that worked out. Unconventional route, but if it fits it ships, right?

I have ak so many AK pistol this draco has been a pain in the A! 2 range trips like 60 rounds of 7.62 wasted. I had to reinstall the trigger myself and that when I found a part that I hadn't
never seen an an AK. The wonderful shepards hooks. I had to order an AK retainer pin plate because what a pain in the a that shepards hooks is lol. I'm going to take it to the range next weekend hopefully it'll run reliably I even filed down the pistol grip so there is no way that trigger should get caught.

Almost looks like someone left a homemade tool in your gun. I have no idea what that Shepard's hook thing is supposed to do

It's suppose to act as the retainer pin that holds the trigger pin and the hammer pin in the receiver it's a huge pain lol
