AK-Builder.com AK47 Gas Piston Installation

This shows how to replace the gas piston in an AK47 style rifle that has the piston threaded in and riveted. Even though it shows me using a milling machine and a v-block to do it you can use a drill press and a vise to do the same thing.

Check out my website http://www.ak-builder.com to order heat treated gas pistons not the soft ones like everybody else sells.

My Gas piston pin came out the other day at the range, so I took it to my gunsmith today and he put a new one in (Gas Piston Roller Pin), drilled, hammer, filed, the whole 9 yards, then today after I cleaned it I had dry cycled it a few times and the pin came right back out. What should I do?! HELP!

What are the two sizes of the drill bits?

[CrufflerSteve]

I wish there was an audio track. Still quite good. The rivet hole looks to be a little less than 1/8". I did a hole a couple sizes smaller and I'm glad I did since without his tools I couldn't exactly line it up. It was off but virtually all in the rivet hole. Some are loose. I have a bunch of kits and a few are wobbly but they must have worked. The AK47 is truly an amazing design. Made by surly drunks and used by peasants.

Why drill 2 holes in the piston, did you just reinstall the original piston? I use the same sander.........
