I finally managed to find a small supply of tweezers that were the right size and shape to allow me to build some blind hole locators to help locate the front trunion holes of an AKM on the outside for a stamed receiver. These tools are made of stainless steel with a black oxide button head screw that is attached to align the circle to the location of the rivet hole through the front trunion. Following are some sample pictures:

Some of these tools have the screw favoring one side of the locator hole but if a hole is center punched using one of these tools the center punch will be over the hole in the front trunion. Once center punched and drilled with a small drill bit and working up to a larger one you can prevent egging of your front trunion holes by using one of these tools.

I am asking for $10/each for these plus $2 shipping. Please e-mail me if you want one at Quarterbore@yahoo.com. I have about a dozen of these to sell unless I can find a source for more of these stainless tweezers.

QB: The tool is GREAT :D , not to mention much easier than using a pencil to shade paper for the locations.

Thanks!
