Yugo M92PV Krinkov?

[ghostdncr]

I've gotten all spun up with the need for a Krinkov over the last few weeks and started researching the Zastava M92PV pistols. Seems they're about as close to a real Krink as anything that's ever hit the US market. Namely, the hinged top cover with rear sight, bolt hold-open selector, top handguard retainer, front sight unit, and muzzle device threads are all spot on! I handled one of the 5.56x45mm versions yesterday at a local gun shop and was blown away by the quality. It was nothing like the Draco I sold last year! Well finished, well fitted, and generally slick all over was my initial impression of the weapon. The simple addition of an appropriate folding stock (post-Form 1, of course) and a Krink or HOBO muzzle device, and you'd have a fantastic SBR. I'm hoping to find one of the 7.62x39 models in stock within driving range this week and pick it up. These were originally developed for tankers and truck drivers, as I understand it, and I can certainly see the advantages of such a weapon in the confines of a Jeep Cherokee.

Any thoughts?

Tagged for interest........ i would love to have a Krink and this seems like a viable option

My LGS has the 5.56 version in stock (like, eight of them!) for $800!!! Centerfire Systems, J&G, and others list them for $399. I'll be calling around tomorrow to see who actually has what in stock. Will post here if I can nail down some accurate info.

I just got in my brace for my m92. Fits well and is secure. We will see how range testing goes next week. May be a a good Avenue until your class 3 paperwork is procesedd

Saw a few at the holt road armory show last weekend for $455. I love the Krink look too, although I appreciates. Slightly updated look as well. I was thinking an AK would be a good, durable mate for my old Cherokee Chief, and an SBR version would be even better!

Agreed! I've never been an AK fan, but I got to shoot a krink not long ago and really liked it. I've liked the Draco sbr for awhile, but this might be a viable option for the right price.

Uhhhh. You guys are killing me. I've looked at the one at J&G for awhile now. IIRC they want about $30 for shipping. One of the vendors at the past Gunslingers Gunshow had one in 7.62 for $449. I almost bought it. Kind of regretting not getting it now. I have never owned or considered doing an sbr until these came around.

The correct triangular stock kit is selling for $189 complete and the correct muzzle devices run around $100. Even with the tax stamp, you're gonna have a Khyber Pass Krinkov for under $1k. Can't beat that with a stick and if you let it pass now, you'll be telling your grandkids about letting it slip through your fingers!

I know it's a Draco, but that style is pretty sweet!

I love my AR's but these things are just dripping Soviet Bloc cold-war goodness. I've tried handling an M4 inside my Cherokee and it's a hot mess, at best. While mine wasn't configured as an SBR, I could maneuver the Draco just fine.

Just picked up an M92 from CTD for $416 shipped. I have my Form 1ready to go. I will be putting a Manticore Arms folding stock with a Stormwerks hinge. I'm really impressed with the build quality of this pistol.

The muzzle devices are much less than $100. I don't have the tools or the bravery to remove the old trunion and install the folding stock trunion. Don't want to pay the $300 for someone else to do it either.

If you don't mind me asking what did you use for your Form 1 measurements?

 

[ryknoll3]

10" barrel, 28.25" OAL.

I know the barrel is 10". The OAL I got from measuring the gun, plus adding the length of the stock and hinge I'm planning to use. I got that info from Manticore Arms' (the maker of the stock) website. Close enough.

I really like my M92 PAP in 7.62 but have no plans on SBRing it anytime soon. I got it to deer hunt with.

The muzzle devices are much less than $100.

Can anyone provide a link? I found some of the 14mm Krink-style devices for the standard AK rifle down around $30 or so, but all the 26mm ones I've found for the M92PV are right around $100. I don't recall ever seeing the four-piece HOBO for less than $100.

For instance:

On the measurements, don't forget to add in the muzzle device of choice. My OAL was something like 30 1/4" with the M85.

For the traditional Krink brake, you can find them for usually between $25 and $40 with the spring kit:

MUZZLE BOOSTER - Yugo M85 or M92 Krink type - 26mmLH (OEM) | AA-OK

For the four piece, you are probably looking around $100:

That one is $87 plus shipping.

Though for the M92, I think the traditional Krink brake would be the correct one. The parts kits came with underfolding stocks and a cone type brake.

I too want to go the Krink route. Picked this up not long ago. Paid a little more than I should have but it included a krink booster and has the side folder I wanted. Just need to do the paperwork and remove the fake can.

I miss mine and will have to replace it soon :P
