Thanks for sharing! What a beauty you have there.
I have a few questions for you.
Could you specify what that means? What cut did you make on the left side of the receiver, but no the right? What 4/6 degree difference? And what do the 2 degrees do to help?
Everything makes sense but this for me.
2 degrees makes the latch sit lower than the normal krinks?

Cut the left side of the reciever, but not the right, and ignored the 4 degree/ 6 degree difference between the stock m92 receiver angle and a 101 sidefolder angle. the front latch has to be placed further down to clear the trunnion, so this extra 2 degrees helps in the end.

a standard 101 sidefolder compatible receiver has a 6 degree slant at the back. the pap has a 4 degree slant. I did NOT correct this 2 degree difference...which means that my stock, when deployed is 2 degrees "straighter" than it would be had it been installed on a proper sidefolder 6 degree receiver. This means that when my stock is FOLDED, it sits 2 degrees "less straight" against the side of the receiver...necessitating the latch be placed slightly lower to engage the latching surface....which is a happy coincidence, because the shape of the pap front trunnion necessitates placing the latch slightly lower anyhow.
the cut made to the left side of the receiver is the cut to clear the sidefolder hinge. in a standard sidefolder receiver, that cut would be 6 degrees, to match the 6 degree (uncut) right side. I however made my cut 4 degrees to (of course) match the 4 degree uncut right side.
this picture shows the left side, the 4 degree cut, and the hinge sitting neatly inside the cut.
This picture shows my latch position, and it is clearly lower in the receiver compared to the latch hole picture that you provided.
