Little note for you on the toth tool blades for Yugo bulged front trunnion rivets.
They can be notched to reach in deep enough to work but will not work they way they are bought from toth tool for that specific rivet....

I don't have a kindle. Hurry up and release the ibook version already!

Neither do I. Amazon has a free app for the PC and the iPad. Works great.

Excellent thanks. That’s easy. Good to know the author. What about the rivets on the Yugo pistol grip mount? Will the long rivet Toth tool jig work, maybe with an extender?

That I don't know (honestly). I use trigger guard rivet jig from AKBuilder to start the rivets, and the long rivet punch with the trigger guard rivet jig bottom die as a bucking bar below to form rounded heads on the inside.

Pic from the book (I go over how to do this in the ebook notes on other variants)


Important thing to remember is wear safety glasses, start the crush with the flat plate of the trigger guard rivet jig, and hold onto the ram of the press, and go slow as you round the heads with the long rivet punch. It will go sideways on you if you don't.
The last important thing on that is to hold the receiver level as you do this (up a little bit in the front) since the jig was made for a standard AKM which doesn't have a pistol grip nut on the outside of the receiver like the Yugo does. If you allow the front of the trigger guard to sit in the 4 cut outs for the front rivets the back rivet will not crush straight down.
The other side of this is to remove t he back plate, and tape the back rivet in place as you crush the front ones. That way all 4 front rivets can sit flat in the bottom die, and crush inside the receiver like they should.
If you leave that plate in place with the pistol grip nut on the back (for a Yugo) the back 2 rivets of the front 4 will not be seated correctly, and potentially crush leaving a small gap below the rivet heads.

Yep Toes. Kindle is a free app from Amazon for ipad, iphone, PC, Andriod phone, Nook, Kindle, and more.

Personally I have both my ebooks on my iphone (the really funny part is I had to buy them since Amazon doesn't have provisions for free download links even though I wrote it).
Super easy to take with me wherever I want.

BTW I love the new AKTeam siggy you guys have. Good Job.

You know...if I weren't a complete moron, I'd have remembered that I have the kindle app on my phone and that's how I got volume one.

[nicoroshi]

That's it!
You've lost your God like status Toes.
Reduced to minor deity.

No worries Toes. There is a printed version in the works that will be available on Amazon for those that may not remember it's on their phone.

[tujungatoes]

hmm...I was unaware of my omnipotence....I really gotta start writing this sh*t down. Oh well, minor deities are cool too. Odin is a demigod and he's a badass.

I read the entire book last night. Well done, in fact maybe too much information. For those who consider themselves well read on builds you still need this book if just for the Tips and Tricks sections which are excellent. Wish I had this before I welded the rails.

Now the big decision: AK builder + press vs toth. Yes, an overly discussed topic, but I'm building a Yugo...

Chill.
Hova was just trying to let you know a little about me.
You don't know me so your post is kind of understandable.

Let me introduce myself.
I am Nico. I have a love for the Kalashnikov design, and love to build them






Alright. Now you have an idea.

Nico,
Awesome job on volume 2! Great detailed information.
Btw that is a SIC collection keep up the great work brother.

Gonna have to disagree with you here bro. In your case I don't think "love" is is the correct term. I'd say what you have falls somewhere between a "terrible hunger" and an "unholy lust".
