Does anyone have a technique for a consistant  shape on the nub inside the trunnion  ?  Particularly  the rivet you can see inside the mag well .

Use a bucking bar with a dimple on both sides of the rivet when squeezing them or get a carbide burr and make a dimple in the face of your rivet tool.

most all us rivets are alittle to long
it dosnt really matter as you cant see most but on that 1 i take alittle off
so it will form nice

also if your useing bolt cutters it dosnt hurt to have an extra set with a wide head
