Very nice job! What did you use to set your rivets?
What did you use for a finish?
I have a set of bolt cutters with jaw mods almost completed (need to mill the dimple to form the rivet heads and will be doing a full size Romi and an SBR M92 once I file the paperwork and pay the tax.
NODAKSPUD receivers are excellent!

Thanks guys.
The wood was redone with a three coats of Minwax Polyshades Natural Cherry. It wasn't as red as I wanted, but it still turned out nice.
I used modified bolt cutters for the front trunnion and a 12 ton press for the read trunnion and trigger guard. I definitely learned a lot about riveting.
I'm hoping to get some range time next week. She's properly headspaced with go/no-go gauges, so I'm not too worried about the first pull of the trigger.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
Like I said, I'm no expert, but I'm willing to help anyone here with the process.
