Possibly free titanium stuff

[J.Galt]

I need a butt plate for a wood stock Valmet M76 AK... Originals cannot be found and they are not reproduced. I saw a guy that machined them awhile ago on a forum and they went like hot cakes because anyone who has that rifle knows the factory plates are briddle and always crack.

have you tried asking him for more? i dont want to make stuff people have already been making

I never talked to him, I found the forum from a google search and it was about 6-7 years old. There were some posts after asking and people say he is long gone and every Valmet source or site I email say there is no place to find these anywhere. Very rare unique part that is out if production

Still have original screws

hmmmmmmm

was the original plate all one thickness or was it tapered? in other words, if i simply cut out a flat plate and put the two holes for the screws, would they need to be drilled at an angle or do they go into the stock at a right angle to the butt plate "plane"?

if so I could definitely make that. out of Ti if you wanted even.

trace it on a piece of paper as well as you can and try to accurately locate the holes on the paper too.

or if you have some calipers, try to measure the hole-to-hole distance (and hole diameter) and then the hole edge to top and bottom edges of the stock, and we might just assume the hole pattern is centered..that might be accurate enough

How about a thumb-rest for a featureless converted Saiga 7.62x39? It would mount on the unused axis holes from the removed OEM trigger.

If it sounds promising, I'll take some measurements and pictures and try to iron down the actual look and mounting hardware required.

What if I sent you the stock itself?

What if I sent you the stock itself?

its really not necessary. i try to avoid that because ive ended up with a huge pile of other peoples "things" hehe...

is tracing it out of the question? once you trace it i can make a prototype of it and send it to you.

What about basepads for magazines? I'd totally buy some for my glock and AR15 magazines

1911 Government sized bushing.

that looks like something I can make

are those unavailable or something?

is the geometry simple or are there things which will be hard to measure

i dont have a CMM..just calipers and an edge finder, test indicator, the mill etc..
