A Thought Occurs

The seller of the stock indicated that it was "wobbly".

When researching if you can mount a Beryl stock on a Tantal, I bumped into people talking about this issue.

Both the Tantal stock and the Beryl stock need that sheet-metal bracket that ties the stock to the pistol-grip nut or they wobble because otherwise it's just the tang coming off the rear trunnion doing all the work.

It's just 1mm sheet metal, it's going to flex a bit and feel wobbly with that much leverage on the trunnion.

I'm also guessing he didn't have the correct screws as well.

The Beryl tang isn't countersunk, it's counterbored, so if he tried to use Beryl screws on a Tantal (or other AK) they won't have near the purchase they should.  Also, most M5-0.8 screws around here are the 10mm long variety which would bottom out before they were torqued right.

We'll see!
