Locate the rail parallel with the upper rails, and at the same drop as a standard receiver rail from those same top rails. It won't hurt a thing to add a rivet hole, just be sure the internal head isn't interfering with the FCG or safety.
AMD65 side plate installation
Yet another question:
I am going to install a side plate on my AMD65 build. I've never done this before, and found this quite helpful video tutorial
[video=youtube;Ljh8aeYqWuU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljh8aeYqWuU&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Drilling The Scope Rail Build your own AK AK47[/video]
However, the rear hole he uses is for a rivet in a standard trunnion. The rear trunnion on the AMD65 does not use the standard rivet pattern.
Should I simply drill a hole where it would normally be? How should I locate that hole? Does it matter as long as the other holes are consistent with the error?
Thanks for your help
