| Anyone able to rivet the lower rivet in an U/F trunion for me? My bolt cutter will not reach it. I'll pay $ or trade out parts or ammo. |
Dont you have the same kind of bolt cutters I have? |
Ark, I used the bolt cutter/rivet tool to the front trunnion on all types. Unless the underfolder rear stock block is deeper than the front trunnion rear mag rivets, I should be able to reach them. I got the rivet squeezers from EE with the trigger guard jig, etc. I'll take a pic and post it before you come over though to make sure it isn't the same as yours. |
the lower rivets on a UF are pretty deep, I had to put a 1/2" or so notch in the cross bars on the squeezers to give it extra length and to prevent them from crimping the receiver's upper rails. |
Sounds like Ndenway is the man.

Man don't let this guy work on anything you have. He has 3 tools- a BFH, a pair of pliers, and a screwdriver! Oh and he only has 1 arm and is blind to boot!  Just kidding.  I'll vouch for him.

here is how I do it. Get a 3/8" ( the right size to allow a 5/32" rivet to fit in it) roll pin from ace hardware, then cut it yo fit in there, just like the center support thingy, then use a center support rivet. no problemo, easy as pie then just use a hammer and anvil and concave punch to shape the rivet like normal. ETA, I did this on a khyber pass build, not sure it underfolder has clearances to let it work. but it "should" work on a UF too. |
