PPS-43 Parts Kits
Orig FA & New Semi versions have a long rivet that goes thru receiver top, trunion bracket, knotch in side of barrel then out the bottom of the trunion. It clocks all the breach parts correctly and holds them securely in place. Aftermarket receiver pieces, trunions & brackets offered today have no provision for that rivet.Any idea why?[?] Based on it's function, seems like an important part to.[B)]

Two reasons that I can see.
Cheaper to make and less precision required if rivet holes left out. If rivet holes aren't in exact alignment with required internal parts when the flats are bent, holes are NFG and useless.
Skill and experience are required when riveting sheet metal. The sellers don't want to be responsible if some back yard bozo screws up one of their parts kits. They sell the parts kits under the guise of it being made into a inoperative decorator. If bozo wants to make it into a operable firearm, let him worry about the rivet.0 -
If it's the same as the PPSH41, the only notch should be in the barrel, in front of the flange, for the cross pin. 0 -
Yes, "cross pin" describes it better than rivet[:D] Mine has a roll pin driven in, not a rivet. Rufe-snow is right, novice builders beware. Either leave it out or make dead accurate measuring before drilling. Kinda' like drawing for a Straight when all you have is the middle card[:p] 0
