I just finished up an Arsenal 107 SBR. Looking at picking up a budget SBR project wirh a PaP M92. I found one locally in great shape for $525 OTD wih 3 mags. I haven’t had my pulse on the pap m92 market as of late. Should I jump on this deal or keep searching ? Thx y’all

Word was that the receivers weren't properly heat treated at some point on the newer Yugo/Zastava imports. I believe Henderson Defense posted something about it in their big AK durability thread but maybe do some research. However for all I know they may have fixed those issues.

You can buy them new online in the low $600's, so that's about $100 more. Are you wanting to do an underfolder or sidefolder? The location of the serial number matters if you're wanting to do an underfolder because some of the serial numbers are at the rear of the receiver.

The improper heat treatment of the receivers is a real thing. Most common issue is the FCG holes being egged out. Best case scenario you get one that is properly heat treated. Worse case scenario you get one that isn't and eventually you have it rebuilt on another receiver.
I opted for a Draco instead of an M92 and don't regret the decision one bit.

I built two SBR AKs.
One a PAP, one a Draco.
Just three VZ58 folding stocks on them. Nothing fancy.
The Draco has a way thicker rear to drill and tap. I prefer it to the PAP. Plus CL barrel, standard parts, etc.
I did snag a M85 one with the AR mag well in 5.56 and put a folding brace on it.

That's what I did. Also wasn't crazy about Yugo barrels.Originally Posted by Five_Point_Five_Six

How does that work? Got pics? I'd love to have a AK with a Vz folder but sounds like a lot of custom fitting.

I have a hard time choosing, so I just decided to make an SBR out of each; Draco underfolder, M85 side folder and vz.58 SBR.

Drill and tap one hole. VZ58 stocks with bolt were like 50 bucks on eBay at the time. File or Dremel one little anti rotation notch

OK, first...that might be the coolest thing I've ever seen.Drill and tap one hole. VZ58 stocks with bolt were like 50 bucks on eBay at the time. File or Dremel one little anti rotation notch
Second, when I did my Draco SBR I had a standard buttstock rear trunion installed so I could use a East German wire folder.
Did you simply attach the Vz58 stock to the flat back plate on a Draco? If so I need a few more details of exactly how.
How do they shoot? Is recoil worse on the Vz stock than a wire folder stock?
