Going featureless

[SweetLoutheDuke]

Im ready to convert my Sgl-23 to featureless but the mag lock is semi permanent. anyone have experience drilling out the rivet and successfully rebuilding?

What type of mag lock is it?

You will need to purchase a new mag release and pin. Grind off one side of arsenal pin, then punch it the rest of the way through. Install new mag release (tricky) and make sure its featureless and enjoy.

Anywhere I should buy the parts from? Thanks for the advice!

All rivets no allen keys. Less bulky than their older versions.

This, I'd drill out the rivet/pin and do this ^^^. I had to do something similar on my Saiga when I went featureless because the mag release lever was cut off before I bought it since it originally came with a thumbhole stock.

k-var also sells the parts, and when I did this I got a kit that also included what is supposed to be a temporary replacement for the rivet that screws on. I've found it works just fine permanently though, and have shot 2000 rounds with it that way with no issues.

Had to buy the mag release and spring from Brownells, then the pivot pin from AK builder. Now I'm just trying to read up on the install because I keep hearing what a pain it is.
