AKM build

So I know an air hammer and air chisel are different. If I used these bits in an air chisel and removed the duvet part of the jaws tool, support that in a vise using that to support the bottom rivet would I be able to shoot the rivet like that with these ? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0046AQKH2/ref=pd_aw_sbs_3?pi=SL500_SS115&simLd=1

I modify those bits with a ball endmill to do the long rivets and center support. Make a bucking plate to support the preformed side.

So my receiver came in. The front trunnion lines up with the holes great and mag fit should be great. I filed down the ejector sobtje bolt could pass it smoothly. My only problem now it the rear trunnion. I can get a river through the bottom holes but the tops don't line up. So. Not sure what I do. Should I try to get a tapered reamer and hand work the hole a smidge bigger or try to drill it and cheat it over?


 
With the bottom secured by a rivet or pin, use a drill to get the top hole to line up. A drill bit will cut in the direction you want where a reamer will enlarge the hole all around.
 
I'd lean a bit to enlarge the hole like ray said.if you drop the rivet in at it feels hung up on a burr. Run a full size but in the hole or a reamer the right size .

I tried to force a rivet pass a burr and almost needed a new rivet.

First of all nice looking receiver. It looks like a Childers Guns Plolish.

As far as those holes go I use a Dremel with a carbide bit to fit them. They will need to be dimpled for the swell neck rivets.

It is a Childers polish receiver! I managed to fit the holes. Ran into a few snags for my first build by myself but I managed to get it together. Just need to add the FCG when the kid goes down and she's done.
