Yea it is looking good... I have a few things I learned especially about proper bucking and NOT using clamps on the front of the receiver as I got a few dents but othewise everything is comming together nice.
I need to make some larger bucks to support the front trunion when pressing the front rivets or I need to learn to use Plinker's jig properly as I have a couple marks up front that I could have prevented had I took a little more time with my setup... The clamps were to used to test fit the front trunion for the mag as dummy me tightened them too much and got marks...
A little fill with the durakote paint and it will not show and this build is looking better then my screw build on a OOW receiver so practice does help some... as does the right tools!
My rivets are from the Group Buy that Patriot Of Many had on AK-47.net. They are the proper size and they really have worked great. I bought a ton of these planning to pack them up and sell a few to hellp support the site but have not had the time to count the little buggers out yet.
As for my squashing, I use Plinkers jig for the font trunion and the trigger guard rivet jig from AK-Builder.com. Like I said, I have hundreds of pics to go through to share but I don't have the server space (or bandwith) to upload them as they are and it will take me days to sort, crop, and lay them all out and add text...
