Easy AK47 Build "Homemade": Trigger Guard Riveting/Install~ Step 4 of 6

[@theoldgunguy]

I set the assembly up in a vise loosely and used a air hammer that had been cut flat and a dimple made in the end It didn't take anytime really to do it, and came out great. I built two that way.

Best way to

[@HeWhoOvercomes]

Do you use the short riveting jaws for the rear trunnion as well?

[@archangel20031]

The 3 Toth tools are the long river tool for $125, the trigger guard tool @ $80 and the jaws for $75, so $280 just to crush some rivets? That is assuming you can get away without the barrel population tools and barrel removal tool? Then $60 for a set of "Down And Dirty" Go-Nogo-Field gauges to set the head space. So $350ish for the uncommon tools used to build one? Not counting a hydraulic press and spot welder (or FCAW welder) and all the shipping related to all these tools?

For the press plate, did you have a hard time getting it to sit on top of the four rivets for the trigger guard? i had a hard time fitting the press plate on top of the rivets. when i pressed the rivets, they mushroomed on the outside and did not make any rivet tails on the inside. Did you file down the press plate for a better fit?

[@VEightMerc124]

I did not modify tools. Maybe the rivet tails are too long to begin with and thats why they fold over

[@mikehunt6450]

Where do you get those plates that slide in the receiver?

I'd rather buy a rifle made by this dude than Century Arms. They could learn a thing or two from this guy. Lol.

[@VEightMerc124]

omg LOL

So what happens if you over squeeze the rivets?

[@VEightMerc124]

The dome shape will pancake flat. Your other question about long rivets, yes you should "peen" them over or it wont form the dome right

[@jesseg1887]

[@VEightMerc124]
