Yeah I've got the adaptor for the press makes it quite easy! I'm gonna go ahead and rent some go gauges first though and stop being cheap! Lol that and I need a chuck key for my drill press anyone know what size the chuck key is for a delta bench top model?

Thanks 99, everything seems to be working out fine. I heard from Keith, sent him paypal for the whole rivet kit, like 3 or 4 different parts, for the barrel, receiver, trigger guard. Hope I got it covered. I have to clean the old rivets out of the old parts from the receiver, thought I would knock em out with a punch... hehe, that didn't work. Looks like I have to drill out the solid rivets ? Or can I press them out with the press?

I drilled them out once you get most of the way through you can knock the rest out with a punch! I mostly used my hand drill after grinding the rivet flat with a dremel and of course undersize your drill bits to avoid damaging the trunion!
 
I used 1/8 drill bits (get them in large packs at HF, use sharp), then use 1/8 punch to punch them out with a tap of a hammer.

You don't need to drill all the way through, just enough to weaken it.

Kewl, that's what I was hoping. I just picked up a new bench top drill press, got a bench grinder and actually being a mechanic and an ex Snap-on Tool dealer, I gots lots of tools that should come in handy.. Looks like I will need parts though, riet, roll pin kits, trigger guard.. any suggestions. Also, my barrel is a new 16" with all the pieces pressed on but not drilled or pinned...

That's awsome Boris, thank you. I think I will be building a few of these since I'm making the investment in the tools.. now I just need a little OJT... [grin]

Interesting hopefully Boris or someone more knowledgeable will chime in on pinning the fsb,gas black, and rear site block in place seems easy enough as long as the alignment is correct? Mine was already done by akbuilder... Is the barrel headspaced?
If not flintoid knows someone that will headspace and drill and pin all the barrel components for $90 to save you the headache!

I thought this was going to be a mail-order bride thread.
 
Did you fabricate your own or purchase one? I'm debating on using the bolt cutter method or hammer and punch method.

Found a Nodak Spud PSL receiver and now waiting for it. Just got a couple parts from AK-Builder too. Can't wait for this build!

Congrats man! I've gotten lazy and haven't finished the psl yet still need to get some head space gauges and a new chuck key for my drill damn little things disappearing! Lol I'm curious if the nodak is easier to use than the romy one I did I hear the nodak receivers are better quality!
 
If you are still waiting on building this because of the barrel pin and head-spacing I found someone who will drill, ream and head-space the barrel for $20+ shipping.
