I did this...place the swivel in the tab, push the pin through..then I used a prick punch to push the edges on the rivet down and finished the edges with a roll pin punch and 4oz hammer.
FYI..a prick punch is a real thing and can be found at sears..it looks like a regular punch but it has a point on the end |

I've read the easy to do it and have it come out looking "right" (without buying some special tool) is to use a BB pellet and a vice. You install the pin and swivel and then put the BB in the hole of the pin then clamp it with a vice. The should roll the edges of the pin over for a factory look? (Never done it myself so I can't say for sure?)
