Post up some pics of it, and the rear trunnion. I might know of a way depending on how it’s setup.
Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

Love my G-Shock. Being the simpleton that I am, I've had this one on my wrist for nearly 10 years. It's been though hell and back with nothing more than a battery change a couple years ago.

I'm still waiting for the guy that works for STI to respond back about my question about the XC
Damn Ruskie had a death grip on it . . .

Do you have any idea how long it takes to play a round of golf? . . .
Apparently a whole freaking day
Well I was hoping your rear trunnion was one that at least had a plugged rear threaded hole. But it’s completely solid huh…well in that case depending on the design of that rear trunnion and if it’s thick enough, it could be drilled and tapped. But at that point you’d be better off just having the factory rear trunnion removed and swapping it to a much nicer one. With the swapping it option, it would give you much nicer options that would work that give you plenty of nice options on what you could attach on there.
Um yeah no hole early version. So where does one find "a nicer one?" And removal . . . ? Hacksaw? Lol

Honestly your best bet is to send it to a reputable shop and have them install it. I suggest CW Gunwerks. You won’t have to worry if you’ll be getting it back done correctly, cause they do solid work. Because it’s not just like un-torquing a castle nut, switching it with the new part, and torquing the castle nut again. Rear trunnions are riveted in and they have to be drilled out and re-riveted. It’s worth the peace of mind knowing it’ll get don’t properly. As for the trunnion itself take a look at JMAC Customs. Depending on the factory river locations they might need to be welded and new ones drilled in the new location of the new rear trunnion. I have the MRKT designed for AKM’s installed in mine. Since there is no 100% “mil-spec” standard for AK’s it can get a little tricky mixing and matching parts. But if CW Gunwerks can make the MRKT work with it, I’d go that route…it’s pretty sweet. Extremely modular and you can change it to accept 1913 adapters so you can run MPX style stocks/braces, you can install side folders that take Sig stocks/braces, side folding standard AR buffer tubes, fixed standard buffer tubes.
Dave is the man. I’ve spoken with him a few times personally. Definitely a cool ass dude and done some work for me as well.

The trunnions @Will556 posted would work and there are a ton of other places you could get them. The issue is obviously time and cost. As alluded to, you will have to get someone that can demill the rear trunnion and install a new one. So the question is what are you willing to spend and how fast do you want it? Do you trust sending your gun out nowadays? If you want something fast I would just go the SB Tactical route. Or some other non permanent way. Non permanent also has the benefit of being able to change the setup if you don't like what you first pick (folding, non-fold, buffer tube etc). There is also the added benefit of being able to simply remove it if sometime down the road laws change. You know what I'm talking about.

I believe I have the SBM47 model somewhere around. I'll see if I can find it.
Yeah non perm may be the way to go . . . having lived here in FL once before, going to NY, and then returning to FL . . . yup. Still have to get a new Sadlak mag release to fix my M1A after I the original got chopped to NY use.The trunnions @Will556 posted would work and there are a ton of other places you could get them.

Damn, I guess flexibility has it's benefits. Wish I had grabbed a couple of Franklin triggers before they stopped selling them here. My new PTR MP would have been perfect with that. Haven't seen an install vid on the sbm47. Loosen the grip and stick on? Probably not.

Yes. It's that easy. I found mine and see that I actually had bought a couple of adapters. One being a JMac. Man it's been a long time.
And . . . ? Something you're not using . . . ?

Not using it. I'll get everything together and see what I have later tonight.
What I like about the MRKT trunnion is it’s modular. With it you can run all the different types of setups that you want and is the least permanent style of setup out of all of them. You’re not stuck with a trunnion that’s only threaded for an AR buffer tube, or one that always folds, or always has the 1913 picatinny. You can run any of those setups on the MRKT trunnion, you just choose which adapter you want to run that corresponds with whichever style of setup you want.
Today, I bought more beef roasts, a bunch more chicken breasts and just under $300 worth of other food stuffs.
