DRACO CNC Warrior brace or stock install DIY

- Hello friends. my CNC warrior brace finally came in. I searched for some quick instructions and I didn't find any draco specific DIY so figured I'd snap some details to help you with your project. You can skip through the drilling part of you know what you are doing. Hopefully this video was of some help for you.
All these complainers about the drilling portion. I’m glad you left it all in the video, Draco trunnions can be VERY tough to drill through. It’s important for the everyday joe to understand this nuance before they think drilling into their Draco will be a cake walk... it’s not very difficult but it will take some effort
I will post a video soon as I'm about to do one. Solid carbide drill 2 holes and then I'll tap em. It will be under 2 minutes for sure.
@@adamking4347wheres that video
I think a better option if you are going to drill a hole in the rear for this one brace, would be drill a hole(s) for a 1913 Pic rail. Then you have the option to add on many different braces and stocks including this one.
That’s just another potential point for it to be weak, this is better overall vs messing with a drilled in pic rail.
@@eddiecrow9133 but the piece he is installing is drilled in also. The pic rail just give more options of thing to attach.
@@reverendblkgrape1 what I’m saying is this is just a overall better design what other pic attatched brace can you name that handles the AK pistol well because the last offerings we’re just straight up trash and rubbery and flimsy, sba3 is the only good brace on the market besides this one, and it mounts directly to the rear trunnion versus attaching it to a pic rail which just makes another potential failure point if that pic rail comes loose which many report it does.
@@eddiecrow9133 Stormworkz 1913 Pic Rail paired with CNC Warrior Brace.
The pic rail option is not as strong and adds one more thing to come loose. The only thing I would add to this video would be to clean the nut and bolt and use a thread locker to the threads.
Take that propane torch at the bottom and hit the starting area for 20 seconds it will aneal just that area. you can wrap everything else in a wet rag to keep the heat treat I drill and tap mausers that way works fast.
Holy crap just spent 15 min watching you drill lol
You know you can skip trough the video right?
@@EUROWORKS I was in suspense waiting for it to pop through
Haha.. it was my first time and also many people wondered how much drilling was required .. that's why I left the whole drilling procedure
I just ordered this brace from Bone Steel Arms today. Thank God my Zastava m92 has a pretty drilled hole. Great video, nice work.
You just saved me $$$
Good stuff. I installed it in less than five minutes. Very easy and a very solid. And it arrived at my door in less than a week.
How hard was it to knock the welded piece off to expose the pre drilled hole? I just picked up my m92 about a week ago, and was just curious. Thanks.
@@edwardmolen5127its not welded just take a screwdriver and pluck it out. Its a plastic plug. I thought it was welded to until I started messing with it and saw it was plactic
5/16 Irwin bit and done. Real quick!
Glad I saw this before I bought a Draco I didn't realize you would have to do any drilling to put a brace on it.
I'll definitely pass on that
Pretty simple procedure for a ultra reliable AK in a considerably smaller and lighter package. Just a little prep and you won't mess it up brother lots of great info on the internet and TH-cam to help you out
Know anybody with a drill press? Solid carbide drill and a few seconds n you will be done. Working on your guns is good n teaches u alot more about that gun other then the part u r workin on.- or avoid drilling and buy the one that mounts under your handle. It's clean looking as hell n all you gotta do is loosen the one handle bolt a little, slide it between, and tighten bolt back up. Nowhere near as rigid though
Chuck on that drill looks bent
I’m doing a draco soon been looking at all kinds of stuff
Thanks for vid
Most like the drill but is bent lol
Like a bad flashback of when i did mine. About 20 mins in, i started to question myself. Phew, i’m not sure i’d do it again without a drill press
Yes for sure, hence I posted the video. I have a new draco and plan on making an updated video , actually doing it the correct way
@@EUROWORKS please upload! Subbed and waiting on that specific video! Maybe an update video of ur current draco to hold us over plz?
And a carbide drill 🧈
Think you could've shaved a few minutes off of the video.... Maybe...
instead of drilling, just add the adapter that that forks into the pistol grip. I believe SB tactical sells them. all that drilling just creates an unnecessary hole in your gun.
Legend has is he's still drilling...I dont understand how you shoot.you scared of hitting that trigger on a drill🤦♂️
Spend the money for drill bit/jig kit. Then use extra washers and offset wrench to install bolt tight enough, because bolt not threaded far enough.
Nice job looks great.....I finally got my brace in after 7 months of waiting cant wait to get it installed on my M92....good vid subbed 👍🏽💪🏽👊🏽
Draco rear trunnion is tuff. Takes a little while.
We all lost these minutes in our lives with your instructional video of how to drill
mine comes in the mail tomorrow... im soo pumped
Will this fit the micro draco?
I would have just removed rivet's removed the American rear trunnion and done a Romanian rear trunnion then you could do what ever you want a lot easier than drilling into a Steel block .
A Solid carbide drill would have blown right thru that in seconds. I know they r pricey but u could go carbide tipped. That was a painfully long process for a small diameter, shallow hole. Dude I swear I will mail u one cause I feel bad.
You are correct. I was just not prepared to start this job. The brace had just got delivered and I did t want to wait. I really was not expecting it to be so hard tho. Hence the only reason I left the video whole and didnt edit. So other will know it's difficult and prepare better. Since then I have purchased an industrial vertical end mill and every drilling operation is a breeze. I could've edited the video and made it short. Than everyone would've thought it was a simple drilling operation
Awesome vid. I’m trying to get mine drill bit to go all the way through
If you cant work a drill bit I'd take it to a gun smith.
Its actually 24 minutes drilling in a 28 minute video,this could have been a 4 minute video
Nice, Does the brace have a ledge or anything that keeps it from rotating on the back of the receiver, you know, to keep it indexed/ not able to turn?
Yes it has two
Can you please send me a link where can i get thiis exact brace for a micro draco.
Love the video But you made that look extremely hard It's only one inch and the rear tap in the stock is not hard at all I don't understand people tap to stop and put this little brace on it It's still against federal law with that short barrel to have brace or stock The gun store tell you this brace is not a stock but if you're caught with it you will be charged for it It's a loop hole a catch-22 the reason why the gun is a pistol is to get it in without the 922 R You are supposed to wild a 3 inch muzzle break Then put a real stock However you like it
“More cow bell!” Update??
Will this fit on the century arms draco that already comes tapped?
Did u get a answer to this question? I was wondering the same ??
Does anyone know if we can modify the stock someway to be able to fit it on a AKM t rear trunion or em i out of luck and have to buy another one
that shirt is fucking hilarious
This was such a pain in my ass to drill at home. Cobalt bits wouldn't go anywhere. Hole isn't perfectly centered either. Can the trunnion be replaced on these?
Yes pretty simple if you have the right tools
Lol, please use a new drill bit next time. The bit wobbling around kinda looked goofy, it probably wouldn't have taken so long with a new one.
Very neat!
Use a drill press
I just bought a hellpup and the draco/Hellpup and lynx all look the same I'm trying to figure out if they all use the same back flat plate. If so could I order this for a draco and it fit my hellpup??
Shit it just bought a brand new draco also, but it has a hole in the trunion already so i wont have to drill
Is there a way to install the bonesteep brace without drilling?
JB weld
Love the shirt
Where do you buy one can you share web page please?
What size drill bit is the biggest you use?
16 minutes of the video drilling a hole with a dull drill bit,more than half the video spent on drilling the hole,maybe editing the video would save the viewer some of their time.
What's the model, item or part number? Not seeing one for Draco pistol on their website.
What size bit did you use?
Im thinking about installing one of these on my hellpup. Which model folding brace did you use? There isnt a description for one on cncwarrior for dracos...is it the dame as the one used for the m92?
Did you figure it out ?
They have different options for different pistols. They had a separate option for my M92 pap. They are worth every penny though. They are built better than anything else on the market.
I just bought a hellpup and the draco/Hellpup and lynx all look the same I'm trying to figure out if they all use the same back flat plate. If so could I order this for a draco and it fit my hellpup??
invest in quality drill bits
You ordered the left hand for left fold I’m guessing ? On the site it just say right hand and left hand
Swear I’m searching for the same answer. Thought I was just slow by myself!! 😂😂 Let me know when you find out!
What hand did you order for it to fold on left side, on CNC website it asks left or right hand only. Thanks In advance! Great video
Obviously RH side like every ak sidefolder in existence
What’s the exact name of this gun?
It's a Draco imported by Century Arms, manufactured by Cugir in Romania. There is also the Mini draco and the Micro draco. This is the regular plain old Draco.
Your supposed to let the drill do the work haha
Do you need a stamp for this? I know it’s marketed as a brace, but I’m not so sure because it’s made out of steel
A brace & stock aren’t distinguished by material. Most braces are reviewed by atf before they’re available for purchase insuring the legality. I’m assuming cnc/bonesteel went through the proper channels to sell this product. So no tax stamp necessary
According to the ATF their opinion is subject to change as often as they change their underwear.
Gotta have a SBR stamp for each now by law. Anything added to the rear they now consider "surface area" for shouldering. Only what's required for a functioning of the weapon now. Hell even the glock roni's and the fattened an/or lengthened buffer tubes required sbrs now
@@adamking4347 unless you are a member of Firearms Policy Coalition or GOA, members are covered by an injunction and... a couple days ago Judge Kacsmarykthat extended the injunction nationwide for everyone so the ban is banished at the moment.
Do you need an sbr tax stamp for this brace ?
Lol you'll need one for ANY brace if this BS new ATF "guideline" sticks and doesn't get shot down somehow.
Just get the gun with the pic rail
Brutal
nice
Any issues with it since installing?
No issues, it's gtg
What site did you order that brace from??? Thanks
Unfortunately there's like a 10 Week Back order on them, and they go really Fast! Luckily by some miracle I found one at the local Gun Show!
I ordered mine about 3 or 4 weeks ago and just got an email yesterday that it shipped and will arrive in 3 days ish. I think they bought more tooling to ramp up production so it should be less of a wait now.
Don't drill the hole to accommodate a socket....that's easy to tighten up.. bad idea....wrong drill bit, that's not made of wood...
What do you mean? Can you elaborate more please?
A 5 minute video woulda been better. Way too long on the drilling. Editing is your friend my friend. Coulda just showed a second of the drilling and then the bolting in. Came out Very nice tho.
Naw as a novice I can appreciate being able to watch his technique and how much pressure he applies and how many times he removes the bit, gives a perfect demonstration of what to expect if you were to take on the endeavor. Think most of us would have jus quit and said fuk it my drill ain’t gonna cut it.
How do you order it to be left side folding? Do you chose left or right hand?
Was wondering that as well, I’m assuming if you order right hand it will fold onto the left side so you can shoot with it folded but not rlly sure tbh
Kind of wondered that too when I bought mine so I went to bonesteel's website instead of cnc warrior and it has the option for left or right folding. It's the same product I just think cnc has it worded different
If you choose right hand it will fold to the right side of the pistol. Left will fold to the left side of the pistol.
Are there any left I tried to get one out of stock also tried bonesteel but there on back order
I bought while out of stock. Took 5 weeks to receive
Looks like there's about a 10 Week Back order on them..
@@kidcdelliott back in stock !
Jus order and forget about it for about 2 months. It’ll show up.
How long did it take you to get the brace?
About 5 weeks
@@EUROWORKS wow, that’s crazy!
Isn’t this stock illegal in Florida ?
ISn’T tHiS sToCk ILleGaL iN fLoRiDa
Jesus Christ why did it take you 20 minutes to do that
17 min to drill hole. That was painful to watch.
Jesus christ why not use the right bit to start with or a step up bit if you didnt get the right size at first. That 15 min ill never get back.
Why didnt you fast forward?
Guys..... do yourself a favor and skip to the 25min mark so you don't have to cringe for damn near a half hr while someone tries to drill a hole with dull and bent drill bits. (dude....step away from any and all power tools and get a new hobby like baking cookies. LOL!)
Stick to your day job!
