| Sorry if the question has already been answered......Has anybody used the screw set system instead of the rivets in their build?....If so, How have they turned out function wise?....Thanks..... |

Wait a minute. I get it now. I think you are talking about a screw build. If that is what you are talking about then yes, there are hundreds of screw builds out there running strong with thousands and thousands of rounds through them. ETA I thought you were talking about set screws. LOL |

www.geocities.com/fkrfxr/screwkit/ScrewKit.html I bought some kits from this guy. Seem to work good plus you can get the taps and drill bits from to make everything fit good. I've done two with these so far with no problems, but can't tell you how good they will hold up as I just finished them about 2 weeks ago. |
| My first 2 builds were done with screws before the development of the boltcutter rivet squeezer, and later redone with rivets. I probably only had a few hundred rounds through them before conversion. My brother has a screw build that we did with just plain machine screws that has around a thousand or so rounds through it with no problems. |
Post up some pics man! Let's see 'em!!!! |
| No problems as long as you use high quality grade 8 screws and are careful. But screw builds sell at a discount, first because they look different than a "real" AK, and second because of some poor jobs by people who used screws only because they were incompetent to do a rivet build. And found they were incompetent to do ANY build! |
