Where are the AK pistols?........

1. The Tapco forend furniture held up well, but the sliding cover on the bottom rail kept wanting to work itself off, so I just took it off. If I decide to keep it on I'll have to figure a way to fix it in place.

Try using a small self tapping screw on the front or back end of the cover.

Time to reload. Oh how I wish this was a free state so I could use my 30 rd mags and no mag lock!

Gosh! I thought the krappy Assault Planet mag lock on mine was a pain. I guess even with the Solar Tactical lock its still the same.

Hey guys,

I had to get in on the fun as well! I built myself a "DJ Edition" replica. I tried to put just enough changes on it to make it mine though. These things are just too much fun!

Tapco Grip FDE
Tapco Muzzle Brake
Midwest Industries Handguard (this thing is pretty awesome!)
Gear Sector Finger Stop
Elzetta light mount (great price, works great)
Nextorch light with pigtail pressure switch (great deal)
10 Round Pro Mag
Assault Planet Mag Lock (MAKE SURE you loctite this!)

The ST can be a pain...I've been using the Glock Disassembly Tool and it works great for me. I drilled a small hole through the handle to attach a lanyard for my wrist and I'm GTG.

It's only $5.99 w/03 FFL discount...

I have a Draco from Henderson and I had the same problems too. The dust cover would fly off after every shot. It looks like the bolt rubs up against it when firing. Does anyone else have the same problem? What did you do to fix it? Thanks.

Make sure you've got the cover on the right way. It's easy to put it on so that the bottom lip of the cover goes over the edge on the rear (the trunnion?). If you put it on like that, it will definitely fly off after being shot or even just charging the first round. Make sure the bottom lip of the rear edge of the top cover goes on the inside lip of the rear plate. It will take a little bit more force to snap it in place than it would if you put it with the lip outside. Look at some of the close up pics posted in this thread - you will see the proper way it should look.

If you have it in place on the front edge lip and also inside edge of the rear plate and it is all snapped in correctly and it still is coming off, then there must be something wrong with the cover dimensionally and it would be time to call Henderson.

I thought about using a screw - don't know if the cover is really that functional so I may just run with it off.

We may rag on AR bullet buttons but they are so much more functional than an AK mag lock - at least the Solar Tactical. I had all kinds of tools with me at the range and the thing that worked best were my car keys to get it to release.

I'll have to try the Glock take down tool suggested - I've had a Glock forever but still have not got around to getting that tool.

I was at RCGE the other day and the guy behind the counter was demo'ing a converted Saiga to a customer - it had some type of mag lock that appeared to have a purpose built tool for it, sort of a wide paddle design plastic handle with a short rod sticking out of it that seemed to release the mag very easily once inserted. Didn't get what type it was, but it definitely wasn't a Glock tool.

I see what you're talking about and I wasn't installing that way. I will give that a try and I'm sure it will fix it. Thanks.

Looks good with the Bulgy wood Gio! So you decide to keep the Draco? You can go double fisted with the Lancaster in your other hand lol!

Slight make over, still need to figure out how to get the top piece on but here are two new pics of my Draco with Bulgarian Furniture, she is also sporting a 10/20 Bulgarian Tanker Magazine
