Gun Talk What are the differences between 4.5mm and 5.5mm folding trunnions

Details

I have a draco that I want to install a folding triangle stock on, but I'm not sure which size trunnion to opt for.

The difference is the size of the hinge pin for the folding stock one uses a 4.5mm pin the other a 5.5mm pin. Maybe you know this already but it’s not just a matter of installing a new trunnion and a stock, you would need to drill the front hole in the receiver and thru the front trunnion for the front latch pin, then cut the square hole in the left front of the receiver for the stock latch then you would have to cut the holes in the rear of the receiver for the stock release latch and cut the rear of the receiver on the hinge pin side to fit the rear trunnion then fill the old rivet holes and rivet In the new trunnion. Probably be easier just to buy a new receiver

Hey, thanks for your response! My question was more regarding the pros and cons of choosing one over the other (i.e. are there more options for 4.5 or 5.5? etc...)

4.5mm has more options. Also 5.5mm is more "military"/ Russian, while 4.5mm is more "commercial"/ Bulgarian
