Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Trunnion riveting fixture question
Posted: 6/23/2003 8:29:04 PM EDT
I just finished the four rivets at the trunnion on an AK47 build.  But, short of building a special fixture, I can't figure out how to rivet the two next to the magazine.  It looks like I need a "C" type fixture to reach in and back up the rivets.  I'm using a homemade 20 ton press to finish the riveting.  What have you all used in the past?

i use a rectangular chunk of steel with a partial slot (for removal after the rivet head forms) on one side and a full slot on the other side.

i use an air chisel to rivet and the pre-heat treat 4140 block is holding up well...besides, it's just a scrap chunk of steel anyway.
