COULD ANYONE GIVE ME THE RUN DOWN ON THE EXACT SCREW SIZE AND LENGTH FOR A SCREW BUILD.
IN ORDER SUCH AS EXAMPLE (FRONT TRUNNION:10/32 WITH 1/4" SHANK
6-EACH.) THANKS
Front trunnion 10-32, 6 total 1/4" (some might suggest 3/16", or sometimes depending on if the old rivet pieces are all gone or not a little bit of slight trimming is needed).
Rear trunnion 10-32, 4 total (assuming regular ak-47 trunnion) 1/2"
Triggerguard 8-32, 5 total 1/2". I use 1/2" so if I need to trim any I can. I had some shorter screws but would rather trim than not have enough threads for what I need). Also some use a steel plate drilled and tapped for the hole location of the front of the triggerguard - others use nuts that are either small enough to fit in the receiver or grind the nuts to fit. So you could ad 5 nuts to the list.
If screwing the lower rails, 4-40 screws work great.

Hopefully this is the info you are looking for.

I can only speak from my own Level of incompetence.

I would suggest starting out with taps instead of screws.

You can start with as small a one as you can, then slowly get larger as things screw up.

I go from a 4 mm to a 5 mm to a 6 mm to a quarter inch.

6 10-32 X 1/4 for the front trunion
4 10-32 X 3/8 for the rear trunion
5 8-32 X 3/8 for the trigger guard
5 Small nuts for the inide of the receiver

You will need 2 taps, one plug tap and one bottom tap in 10-32
The trigger guard does not require a tap unless you go the making the small steel plate route.
1 5/32 drill for the tap drill. (smaller drills to start if you like)
