GisRtight 0 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 During my conversion. I did this: I went a little wide drilling out the bottom rivet that sits in front of the converted trigger position. Im thinking this will have zero effect on the function of the gun. Any input is appreciated. Yes I know I did a complete amateur job on my conversion. Im not a handy person and this is the only mistake I made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vulcan16 971 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Plug it with a nylon plug and its good to go. I never drill the TG rivets. prefer to shave them down with a rotatory bit . Leaves no u-needed holes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RED333 1,025 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Well you have put your make on it, no worries, you will dent, or marr, or scratch it somewhere as well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GisRtight 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks for the support comrades, You know any little mistake you make on the receiver the first reaction is to flip out! I was fairly confident the firearm would function great, but any kind of intentional or unintentional receiver modification makes me nervous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Star 38 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 yup, you are good to go. like was said above, plug that bad boy with a nylon plug or something and you'll be laughing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leaves no u-needed holes. Just FYI for people new to using carbide cutters, these things throw very sharp and fine chips. Absolutely wear some means of eye protection that is tight fitting to the face. The higher the RPM, the easier it is to control the tool as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 For not being a handy person, you had balls enough to tackle it and got the job done. It is yours and as long as you are happy with it.... mission accomplished. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slopes 2 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I did something very similar to my Saiga when I converted it, and it has had no effect on the rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good advice Evil, also a good dust mask cause you don't want to inhale any shavings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
