    AK build question

    I have this yugo parts kit and a vulcan lower that i have had around for a while and finally got the ambition to start working on. I have a few questions. On the rear trunion the top rivet isnt just a regular rivet, can i just use a regular one in its place or do i need something different. Also the trunion has 3 rivets in the back where the vulcan receiver only has 1. Should i drill 2 more holes or is 1 rivet enough to hold it in place. The trunion is also held in on the bottom by the trigger guard. Here are some pics, any help would be appreciated.

    got the top one out, it wasnt a rivet it was a screw of some sort. what about those bottom two are they necessary?

        That screw assembly up top is the retaining pin for the recoil spring assembly, it is a special Yugo only thing that was designed to keep the top cover from popping off when launching grenades.

            It is supposed to be a yugo receiver, i bought it right when this whole OLL thing started at gunrunners and they told me to get a yugo parts kit. Everything else seems to line up okay except for those two holes for the rivets in the rear, drilling them out shouldnt be a big deal. I was just wondering if they were necesarry since its already held in at two places and most other AKs i have seen only had 2 rivets for the rear.

              yes. the yugo stock mounts completely different from other akms. totally different rear trunnion and rivets.
