Anyone know how to remove the rivet on the front sling swivel without damaging the weapon?

Thanks...

I've always driven them out with a punch. the expanded end of the rivet ends up around the shaft of the punch.

Cool!

Thanks, Tweak. I figured as much, but didn't know if there was some other way that I wasn't seeing.

OK...now for the opposite question....where the hell do you find a replacement rivet?
