Ok, I have gotten my bolt cutter ground to the point that they are usable, though I need some shim pieces to buck some of the rivets. My question is how do you keep the rivets straight while crushing them? I did a couple practice squeezes, not to full crush, and when the rivets are starting they are bending off center. Should I slightly dimple the shim to keep the rivet centered while crushing? I am worried when I do the ones on the rifle itself, they are going to go sideways. Or should I trim the rivet to a certain length so only a bit protrudes? is there a proper formula for the amount of rivet shaft about the hole to get a proper set? Thanks! |
