Yes, I had to use a couple washers and a nut as spacers but it was perfect. I got it at the local ACE hardware, fortunately I'm near SIG and they are always bringing hardware in to the store for fitment issues so the staff is not gun-shy.

Since this is a pistol, I'm afraid I'd get popped for failure to conceal since we dont have open carry in Texas. I'll go grab one of those bolts though and leave the AK at home. Hopefully the thread pitch is standard across the Micros. Do I also see a cross bolt in yours, cookiemonster?
Do we have any ideas on import numbers yet? I got #62.

I used two machine screws, one on either side, that screw into a threaded coupling that fits between the barrel and gas tube. I had to take a little off the coupling to get it to slide between, but with that and the bottom screw mount this thing is rock solid. No ideas on import numbers, I heard not many. I grabbed four while I could.

I counter-sunk the screw head so it's flush

You can see the silver threaded coupler and how the screws fit into it here.

Thank you for the additional pictures. If they import enough to drop the price to say 549 with a drum, I'll grab one or two more just to hang on to. I am still debating whether to SBR this puppy. I guess I'll decide this week. I really hate that I only got one. Oh well I guess it can keep the M92 company. I have too many AKs anyhow.

I SBR'd my regular Draco a couple years ago. I think I'm keeping this one a pistol, as here in NH we can have loaded pistols in our vehicles with our permit, whereas loaded rifles are not allowed. And can one have too many AK's? I submit not. Enjoy man!

my thoughts exactly, need a decent pistol to keep in car where not allowed a loaded rifle.

i have 3 aks and i'm starting to feel that's too many. but if you could do it over again and sbr only one, which would you: the regular draco or the micro draco? right now i'm leaning towards sbr'ing my regular draco and keeping the micro as my car trunk pistol.

I ordered 2 today from CAI. I think one will be a shooter and the other will be stuffed in the back of the safe. I think the low number imported may have something to do with the lawsuit going on right now.

I'd do exactly what I already did, SBR the Draco and keep the micro as a pistol. I think relative size-wise it makes the most sense for me.

Nice job. What rail is that? UTG?

AIM sports actually. The UTG was about twice the price. It is only $32 on amazon. Here is the link if anybody cares

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PLVO4G/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It took me about 2 hours of cutting and grinding to get it to fit.

I took mine and shot it this weekend. I was happy with the reliability and accuracy. I was surprised that it didn't have a bigger fireball than it did with the muzzle nut.

I cut down a dong grip and was shaping it to fit on my sander and everything was going great until I ruined it.

I was freezing and working outside to avoid making a mess and before I knew it I couldn't hardly move my fingers, so slow response time meant a handguard that's too short. On the bright side, it is still functional.

The production numbers on the current batch are very low, so we are looking at ways to "semi custom" make a handguard. I have something sketched up, just need to have the free time to crunch a few numbers and see if the peanut gallery will throw a riot at the final price.

WTF did I just read?

I think this is the correct American English translation:

I Just got off the phone with Century's sales department in Florida. They informed me that the pistol, and other items, ship from a warehouse located Vermont. They also mentioned that it is very possible that someone who ordered after me could get their order first. What I am assuming occurred is that someone who had ordered before I had a chance to place an order called back and increased their quantity. This in turn may have resulted in my order, and the orders of others, not being filled. But it is still anyone's guess, as my order is still showing as active.
