I just got all of the parts to install on my barrel.  Any suggestions as to how to install the rivet?  Any alternatives?

I just use a roll pin, and no, I can't remember what size it is.

Get one of the tools to set the rivet as per the factory........




This is what the business end of the rivet set looks like...

Is this the same as a "Brake Rivet Tool"?

Great pictures BTW!

Yes it is a brake lining rivet tool.  Works perectly to set the front sling rivet on an AR.  They are pretty cheap at well-stocked auto parts stores and be ordered through Napa.

Thanks for the info.  When I look up rivet tools on google all I get are either air tools or pop-rivet tools.
