    Riveting tool.

    I took the rivet out of my Galil mag release when I blasted and parked it. I have a new replacement, but I do not have a riveting tool. Is there something I can use in its place?

    How pretty does the rivet need to be?

    For a one time use situation, I would ask if any local AK builders will let you smash it for a six pack. If they decline beer, forget a 10 spot on their bench.

      Pinch the new pivot pin between two 7/16" ball bearings in a vise.
