I am about to attach a side rail Chinese from Centerfiresystems to a screw built AKM receiver. Before I jump in and just do it, I would like some pointers from those of you who have done it, even if it was on a rivet build.
make sure the top of the side rail is parallel to the top rail of the receiver. and make sure you have the proper rivets. I got the russian one from centerfire and it did not come with rivets. the rivets are a little smaller on the head. also triple check rail align ment after each rivet is set.
