[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Simplistic Scope Plate Removal?

Posted: 9/14/2004 10:21:57 PM EDT

Anyone have any good, simplistic ways of removing the scope plate on a SAR-1? I filed both of the outer flat heads of the rivet off, I'm just trying to figure out a way to actually push the rivets out. I know that I can re-rivet both the rear trunnion and the hole up front easily, or have it done easily, but does anyone have any good methods for pushing out the rivets?

first, centerpunch and drill the filed down rivet shanks. then knock the rivets out with a hammer and drift punch. support the inside of the receiver on the front rivet before wailing away on the rivet shank..

Campy, couldn't I drill a small hole in the front rivet and progressively larger holes until the rivet basically breaks into pieces and falls out?
