VIVA AK Steel Body With Folding Stock Problem (56K will cry)

I have this fine AK body, but I have a problem. The stock catch is in the way of the mechbox. It can't sit flush. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do about it?

Well, this body was never meant to hold a Ver 3 mechbox. And it looks a little too "mass produced" to be meant for airsoft. And a search of all the major retailers did not come up with a VIVA metal body.

It is an airsoft body. Period. Huang sells them, I'm sure he can confirm that.

Well, then, even though he had 1 listed for sale a few weeks ago, you tell me how it fits a Ver 3? It doesn't, not without removal of the spring loaded stock lock.

scroll to the 3/4 of the page down.....

and a real ak receiver do not have large holes where the pistol grip is ... only the airsoft receivers do for the mech box installation

please look at his stamped receiver exemple that has not been bent yet
