[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2792840, member: 35089"] Well after ordering the above swivel I realized the rear trunnion was too thick to insert and bend/butterfly the tabs...not that I could get to them anyway. So I decided to drill and tap at the very rear of the receiver so I could use a regular AK swivel (like what is found in a wood butt stock) as a single or 2 point sling attachment. So I was tapping the holes with a 6-32 tap and SNAP, broke it off flush with the trunnion :( I tried 2 different taps going mega slow and i think the diameter is just too small and fragile for how hard that gun was. So I said F it and got the welder out and welded the swivel to the gun. Its not as clean as I had hoped but it goes with the overall theme of the gun.
