liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I'm done for now, at least until I have some more fun money. Keeping this one simple. I put in a Tapco G2 trigger assembly, bullet guide, flash suppresor, and Bulgy Cirlce 10 with US floor plates. Broke my tap on this one, not suprising really, so I had to punch it out. Decided rather than buying another tap I'd go the route of using a steel rivet. Took about 5 minutes for the rivet vs. 30 minutes or so to tap it. Think I'll be using the rivet method from here on out. Should be pretty handy for the couple of firends I'm going to help on their Vepr's. I can't recall off hand who mentioned the rivet method, but I picked up on it, and man I like it. Thank you for a great tip! Here's a pic.

thebuns1 4,323 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 They look so good with hi caps and the thumbhole stock. I never tried the rivet method. Keep us posted to see how it works out in the longer duration of things. Were you able to get a long enough rivet to bite on the other side of the trunnion? . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I tried a 6mm long and it was too long. Moved to the 3mm long and it works perfect. The 3mm passes through and is long enough the get a good flare. The high cap mags and flash suppreser makes it look like an AK.

mikebaker1129 19 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Seems like alot of taps are breaking on these ! Did you have any issues with taps on your other bullet guides ? What size Tap were you using ? I plan on using a Dinzag tap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I tapped my other Vepr with no issues. I used the tap supplied by Carolina Shooter Supply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tbryanh 11 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I tried a 6mm long and it was too long. Moved to the 3mm long and it works perfect. The 3mm passes through and is long enough the get a good flare. I wouldn't mind seing pictures of both sides of the installed rivet if its not too much of a hassle.
