can anyone tell me

how u go about installing the rivet that comes with the Kvar type bullet guides?

 

what i mean is....

how far thru the trunnion do u have to drill

and what presses up against the other side of the rivet when u crush it?

i dont really want to tap the hole

id rather use the rivet

but im insure as to how exactly to go about crushing it and what not

thanks

I don't think anyone uses the rivit. You can drill all the way through the trunion. It's not very hard. I used a screw with a nut and som lock tight to hold mine on. I haven't had a problem yet. I tried to tap the hole, but I striped the threads out of it. I think there are people here who welded there bullet guide in.

ok so i made some calls and answered my own question:

 

how to install bullet guide using rivet ---

 

the trunnion must be off the receiver so the rivet may be crushed on both sides

this of course entails drilling out and re-riveting the trunnion back into place -

which is pretty much a bummer

 

this also means refinishing the whole receiver - but if the old fcg holes are to be filled in properly - then whats the bfd

i guess my new riveting jig will come in handy after all

Man just tap the trunion and be done with it. Took me a half an hour and mine was finished.

...and if the tap breaks, or the threads strip, do as jtoddellis said & drill thru.
