need help converting AMD65 to rivets

[CaliforniaRepublicShooter]

Can anyone pm me if they can assist/help me putting the AMD65 to rivets? Currently assembled in screw form and I'm not feeling it. I'm located in lax Los Angeles area. Obviously I'd pay for your time/any parts. Thanks guys/gals

Pickup a rivet set.
It should not be too bad to press the barrel out of the trunion, then rivet the trunions into the receiver and then press the barrel back into the trunion...

I'll bet your going to need oversized rivets to get that done. It depends on the size screws that were used.

I was thinking about that...
So 0.159" is the drill size for tapping 10-32.
If they went 10-32, then there is not going to be a lot of extra rivet length lost filling the threads.
If they went bigger than that, i can certainly see issues.

The rear trunion concerns me much more than the front.
Maybe getting a new rear trunion is the solution.

I learned my lesson a long time ago rebuilding a screw build. Now I keep oversized rivets on hand just for that reason.

Get a rivet set and schedule a time to come over.
I'll pull it apart and see how bad the rear trunion is.
Then we can figure out if oversized rivets or just replacing the rear trunion is the way to go...
