MAK 90 kit build -- parts resources sought

fargo007 · 03-04-2005, 09:29 AM

I'm trying to put together a mak 90 for vietnam era re-enacting. I have a kit on the way, but I need to get a front (19mm chinese) trunion and barrel pin for her.

Global trades doesn't have them. Anybody have another idea?

Thanks,

If it were me, I would sleeve it and turn the sleeve down to 23mm and put it on a Romy or to 22mm and put it on a Bulgy trunion. But I have a lathe.

Try Keng's Sporting for Chinese parts. Would starting with a MAK-90 be cheaper or easier?

Pookie, Buddy! I've looked at centerfire systems mak90 kits, but...... they're kit's don't include trunnions, front or rear. I'm wondering if anyone out there has built one of these up and what they did?

Those kits are for milled receivers that is why no trunions are included. The threads could be turned down and sleeved I bet.

Currently way beyond my level of expertise. I have a lathe, but wouldn't feel comfortable tackling that.

Global trades has new 19mm trunnions I believe.
