A better long rivet tool

[ar15barrels]

I have all of that stuff, if you need rivets pm me your address.

Randall, long rivets on bulged trunnions are right next to the bulge. I don't think your tool with be able to squeeze in there with the raised area. I ran into that problem when I designed my jig about 4 years ago. I also ran into problems if the ram was bigger then 3/8". They could be turned down but I figured 3/8" grade 8 bolts are cheap and the set I have has lasted me for hundreds of builds.

I can make a special punch to get in there.
I can also hold the receiver in place without the threaded ram as I have other hold down features in the top plate.

If those methods won't work, I can also just use my AKbuilder tool.

Having multiple tools allows me to use different ones for different jobs when any specific tool does a better job...
I find that MOST of the receivers I work on are standard 1mm flats.
I made this tool to make the more common jobs easier and better quality.
