................ What special tools required to assemble?
Here is where you open the BIG CAN of WORMS......... and checkbook.
Lets assume you bought a finished AK receiver ($125 range). You will need.................
1. A grinder to remove the existing rivets.
2. A press (or other gizmo) to remove the barrel from the front trunnion.
3. A press (or other gizmo) and backer bars to set the new rivets.
4. A drill press to drill out the old rear trunnion rivets.
5. A box of bandaids.......................... for the blood.
And lets not forget some knowledge of what you are doing (metal working).
