I'll be there to help anyone along.

We will need a way to cut the top rails for the bolt carrier.

Do we have a spot welder?

What model of Yugo?

Is the front trunnion side flat? if so the link below if not then requires a special Jig...

Have we set a date / time / place for this? I've got two kits and two receivers ready to go (maybe 3 of each if I do a deep dive)

What type of flats (brand) or receivers do you have?

My jigs will not bend the tapco flats

My jigs will not bend the tapco flats

Don't need to bend anything - I have at least one NoDak receiver and a couple more armory ones... I just need to drill holes and rivet...
don't even need to drill holes on the NoDak... Might need to pick up a few more compliance parts - I need to go through my inventory...

 

[fingolfen]

Okay - so here's what I have:

3 receivers - one is pre-drilled, the other two aren't. I'm going to have them all set to take double hook trigger groups when I get there.

3 Romy G kits - two are in pieces and ready to go, one I still need to break down.

2 sets of rivets (Tapco)

2 trigger groups (Tapco)

Various other compliance parts for the builds (gas pistons, flash hiders, stocks, etc.)

Build plans:

One I'm building a Romy G - just putting it back together compliant with the original stock. (Receiver, trigger group (3), pistol grip, gas piston, flash hider)

One with Tapco folding stock, OD green (lowest priority) (Receiver, trigger group (3), pistol grip, forestock, buttstock)

One with Black Mako furniture (Receiver, trigger group (3), pistol grip, gas piston, flash hider)

I can try to get the pre fitting done ahead of time so that all I'll need to do when I get there is mash rivets and assemble...

You know at build party's we usually help newbies with one but not an entire arsenal on our tooling Once you learn you should invest in your own tools or wait till the next build party and share your knowledge to help others others.

I will not use or let be used Crapco rivets or Flats with my jigs... they are not right and can damage jigs..

Where are you guys finding your parts kits?

Haven't found a parts kit "in the wild" in a while - haven't been looking either...

What rivets do you suggest?

If I had a set of jigs, I'm pretty much good to go with the rest of the tools at this point (punches, drill presses, cobalt bits, various grinders, appropriate hammers, etc.). My garage is fairly well stocked. I'd need to pick up a decent press, but I've got several uses for one of those.

If I still had access to a machine shop I could make my own jigs, but I don't...

Heck I'd even host if I had all of the goodies...

Either use AK-Builder rivets or buy rivets from the ARFCOM member Low_Lead. He sell really nice ones in the EE.

Lately I have been buying them off Gunbroker. I usually find someone that has a few for sale on there and contact them to see if they have any more they would sell outside Gunbroker.

There are several AMD-65 kits for no reserve on there. "Buy it Now" price is $310..........that is the cheapest AMD kit I've found.

Will check him out - looks like he has some jigs as well...

 

[fingolfen]

So I ordered rivets and jigs from Ak Builder - unfortunately the nice riveting jig is backordered...

On the tapco rivets, is it the shape that's wrong or the hardness? Has anyone tried annealing them or pressing them hot?

 

[stitchclimber]

I found a Kit! now I need my rivets, receiver, and US compliance parts.

 

[stitchclimber]

I have a WASR-10 that I stuck a US made forearm/grip, and stock, what US parts can I swap out of that for my build? In other words, what are the US compliance parts found on WASR-10?

 

[stitchclimber]

does anyone have any thoughts on Tapco's 80% pre bents?

Never used one - I've always built my on pre-railed receivers...
