This is based on Plinker's original riveting jig as well as a modification from another AK gunsmith and upgraded with my own special touches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large round ram and the ram arm are made from 4140 alloy steel and heat treated. There is only one ram that presses the rear of the rivet and it is captured so it won't pivot left or right. The ram will reach the rear rivet on the underfolder\/sidefolder trunnions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rivet support is rounded off to keep from having a dent put into the receiver from using small rectangle blocks with indentions for rivets. There will only be one size made for the rivets that I sell. When I put these up for sale I will offer rivets at a discount when you buy the jig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHIS WILL INSTALL ALL THE FRONT\/REAR TRUNNION RIVETS, CENTER SUPPORTS AND SCOPE RAILS.  It will not install the trigger guard rivets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture above also shows the long riveting part of the new jig. This uses the same basic design as Plinker's long rivet jig. The rivet centering tools and head forming tools are basically the same, but will be modified slightly. With this tool you can install the long rivet on the front of the Yugo\/RPK bulged front trunnions. It will even let you look at the head as it's being formed so you can see what it looks like before removing the receiver from the jig. The key to having a nice rivet head is centering the ram over the rivet before forming the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long rivet jig is the best way to set the center support rivet. I've tried it with the regular jigs before and it has a tendency to crush the rails around the center support. The way this tool works it focuses all of the energy in a straight line down into the rivet and will consistently work better than any other method. It may not be as fast as just hitting the rivet with a hammer, but it will form a much nicer rivet head.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AK-Builder.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52669014016322,"sku":"AKBLD013","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7921\/5682\/files\/Screenshot-2025-11-05-at-11.25.22AM__71826.1762360024.1280.1280.jpg?v=1774274727","url":"https:\/\/centerfiresystems.com\/products\/ak-builder-rivet-tool","provider":"Centerfire Systems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
