I efiled a Form 1 in early January to convert the M92 PAP. The PDF finally showed up in my inbox on Friday afternoon. An hour after arriving home, it was all done
I had never drilled and tapped anything in my life. I was a little nervous. I consider myself handy, but just never had any need to perform a drill and tap operation. I first figured out where I wanted the folding stock hinge to be placed, then marked the position of the holes with a center punch. I measured twice, then hit the marks a few more times with the center punch. This wound up being a good idea, as it gave the drill bit a little tooth to grab onto. Lots of oil and lots of patience yielded good results. The pistol trunion was very hard, so I went a little at a time, then stopped to wipe off the chips and to re-oil the drill bit and the trunion.
Tapping it was easier than I thought it was going to be. Same rules applied; took it slow and stopped often to back out the tap, wipe off chips and re-lube. If you're planning to do this type of conversion, just make sure you measure twice and take the drilling and tapping sloooooow.
The M92 is a fire-breathing dragon! The cone booster throws a huge flame forward, much like the Noveske Flaming Pig. This SBR sounds more like a .308 than a 7.62x39! I want to try out the Manticore Night Brake as well as one of the flash hiders they offer. Spikes also now makes a Dynacomp in this thread pattern, but I'm sure that thing will be downright obnoxious. While lessened recoil would be nice, I don't want to introduce more blast into the equation, but I'll have to see if the trade-offs are worth it. I would definitely like to have something shorter hanging off the front end. I see a $120 muzzle device experiment in my future!
