Element AK Metal Body and Trunnion

[mitchie]

Hey guys:

I just noticed that the kraken AK's trunnion doesn't fit the Element AK metal body properly (The holes where the screws go through dont line up).

Anyone know if the TM one lines up properly? Where can you get a TM one?

I don't really want to mess around with modifying the trunnion becuase I remember someone telling me that if you break it or lose it, you'll have a tough time finding another one.

Thanks.

i had the same isue with my element body its not the holes that dont line up its the body thats to thick all i did was file down the gap wear the trunnion meets the body on both sides and it should just drop in

i dont know if thats the best way to fix it but thats all i know

realy?? i have put like 4 different brands of mags and all fits like a dream. but the element bodys are nothing but a pain in the ass the only thing wrong with my body is one of the holes at the bottom does not line up with the front pice and only full outo works

mine droped in mine like a dream.... The only poblem was with the rear stock braket, a little bit of work with the file solved that quickly however.

Strip the paint off the metal body and re-do it.

I did that to mine it works perfectly.

had to do a bit if fileing, I will probably never buy another element body, I have had to file and sand every place where the body touches anything.

... You have to do that with most metal bodies.
