I'm going to be building a romanian AK here soon. I need to know what size(s) of rivets do I need for the build? and where is the best place to get them?

thanks

I have gotten rivets from

MrKrink
He's on the EE boards
and from midwest
They are both very good to deal with and sell quality products and deliver quickly.
You choose

To answer your question for a Rommy Kit with fixed stock you will need the following:

11) 5/32" X 3/8" Rivets

2) 3/16" X 1.5" Rivets

I have the rivet kits you need in stock and offer the lowest price shipped on the EE board

i just measured them for someone today

you will need
2 short swells 5/32x3/8 ( 3.5mmx9mm)
9 short 5/32x3/8 (3.5mmx9mm)
2 long .170x1.600 (4mmx40mm)

center support is 5/32x1.5 (3.5mmx38mm)

there is no standard size that is correct for the long rivets but you can get everythang else easy
