You can use socket head cap machine screws. I'm not a fan of using screws anywhere a rivet usually is. The receiver bends so anything bolted to it isn't going to last as long as the leaded rivets. If you do go with screws you'll have to mess with the nuts. lol... The holes closest to the hammer pin have very little clearance. You'd have to grind the nuts used there down for them not to mess with your FCG.

 

The trigger guard rivets take the most force to press. They are still easy to do even with a just OK jig. I usually do them in pairs instead of all four together.
