Yugo Fore Arm

Alfa 7 · 11-25-2009, 11:10 AM

Is there a way to tighten up the lower-forearm on a Yugo M70. Have dis-assembled to check for fitting. Re-assembled & still has wiggle, not too much but, don't need to have it get any worse.

Does not interfere with function, I can live with some wiggle just don't need any surprises down the road. Master builders please, afford me some insight on this matter.

A trick I do is to stick a piece of high density foam in the front handguard retainer so that it pushes on the wood. You could try electrical tape or anything to take up space that will not absorb water.

Remove the firend and place bead of high strength glue or epoxy around the front edge of the wooden grip. Allow to dry and file to a snug fit. Will not get lost or fall off during assembly/disassembly.
