I used a clipped off piece of ~2.8 mm iron nail as a rivet, worked fine too:)

Oh, you are moving. I was wondering why your bench was so clean. I haven't been able to see my bench for years because of all the crap piled up on it. I usually clear off a tiny space about 1'x1' at a time and push things around from there.

Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate it!

Glad to see you are back up man, keep doing awesome work .

Be careful about ordering stuff off apexgunparts. Their website has horrible security. So use a throw-away credit card, and when your information gets stolen and a bunch of erroneous transactions appears, then simply dispute them and ask for a new card. By no circumstances ever use your debit card at apex!

Thank you so much! I've been looking for parts to buy for a set of replacement parts i want to stock up on for my AKs and this video helped me a ton.

How would you pin it in such a way that allows the piston a slight wobble? Apparently all russian aks, maybe others have a slight wobble I'm them which is on purpose.

[@PromNightDumpsterBaby420]

Did you ever get an answer on how to do that?

[@leonardomironov-jx2hm]

Where did you get the short piston bolt carrier?

[@militarygunguy702]

Actually all bolt carriers are about the same length. The piston I more than likely bought from AK Builder.

No heat

[@militarygunguy702]

None needed.
