I used Milled AK trigger guard rivets for mine.

I made my own jig to smash them with. |

I have mill access so I just measured the rivet spacing and machined a little jig to smash all 4 at the same time. I used mild steel which turned out to be a little soft. If I were to do it again if make them in D2 or A2. The galil is crazy easy to build, especially if you get a headspaced receiver. |

I used the traditional Rivet jig for an AK and just extended the magazine latch all the way out. My front two rivets arnt the pretiest because of it. I was wondering if theres a better way. Agreed on the ease of building a Galil. Really just the trigger guard was my only sticking point. other than that, it was nice. |
