How would I go about Riveting on a side rail to a Picatinny rear trunnion Draco Pistol. I have no AK building tools. Could I drill 3 holes and then use Rivet Jaws on the rivets? plz halp I want to run POSP optics on a Draco :)

I don't know if the bolt cutter style riveting jaws will work? I have the jig for doing rivets on side mounts, if you're anywhere near Southern Utah.

If you only intend to use the tools for this project, then you should probably just pay someone else to do it for you.


Or you could try this.

The Master Mount is going to be your best bet. You can't install one with the available rivet jaws on the market.
