Trigger guard assembly
10/23/2011 5:40:46 AM
I have a drill block to remove the rivets on the trigger guard and it works great. Is their a kit to reinstall the trigger guard into the new receiver. I noticed my rivet tails are so close to the side of the receiver that any kind of press would be hard.[U]Also i saw someone using a rivet air gun and it seem to work very well. Anybody using one of these I think aircraft builders must have started this way of driving aircraft rivets?

There is a jig to use to rivet the trigger guard in place with a shop press. Well worth the money spent.

This link will show you how to make your own trigger guard jig.

And if none of those look like something to could do, you could always go this route.

If you are only going to build one AK(like this is possible) this is the way I would go instead of buying the high price jigs.

The jigs are great! I'm still trying to figure out how to use the long rivet jig though.
