Here's a pic I had of the one on a 6920:
And a pic of another one on a different gun: 
It likely won't be rock solid tight, but it shouldn't wiggle around. I've used some gasket sealant on the inside surface when installing. There are various methods people use to mount the sling swivel with a rivet. What's worked for me is using a center punch (bevelled end) to start the flaring of the rivet, and then flattening it out some with a larger, flat ended punch, going slowly. Hope that helps. |

What gasket sealant did you use, if you dont mind me asking? Also, do you happen to have any pics of the punches you used? Lots of types out there, so I'm trying to get an idea of the shape and size I need :) |

Take the appropriate size punch & tap out the rivet.

Take the appropriate size punch & tap out the rivet. Removing the original sling mount was cake, I was asking about how to install the rivet on the new sling. Since the rivet is flared at the end, I needed to know what tool and size to use. |
