WTB Yugo Trunion

kanscheapskate · 12-02-2009, 12:38 PM

Looking for a damaged M70 trunion for a Tabuk build. I just can't make myself remove good numbers off a Zastava. ALso, if any of you know, I am wanting to take a M72 RPK barrel and profile it for a budget Tabuk and turn down the end for the M70 trunion, anyone see any reasons not to? I don't think there are any of the Green Mountain Tabuk barrels left out there is there? Thanks

Centerfire has used M70 trunnions for $50. The barrel journal for a Tabuk barrel is the same as an RPK/M70 AFAIK..

Might be able to mill on this.

Might be easier to buy a RPK and modify it to look like a bubba Tabuk. Handgurad lower will be a trick but other components are similar.

I fab'd up a bubba Tabuk from parts I got pretty cheap. Hard to do that these days. A Romanian RPK front end and Yugo rear trunnion and bolt & carrier. Headspaced and removed bipod and cut down the barrel 1 & 3/4 inches and turned down the barrel to move the front sight back and threaded for Tabuk hider. Added Tabuk optics rail and Yugo M76 scope and Tabuk stock on the Yugo trunnion. Needs sling and final finish.

Man that is great! I normally try to keep things historically accurate but after reading about this guns it appears Tabuks can be factory Bubbaed up anyway, Chicom bayonets, weird lenght barrels and scopes etc. I got a scope and mount that would not be accurate for anything else plus a pile of low cap mags that would look good, a flashider that looks really close, the stock is free and the rest is just labor. Thanks for posting those pics.
