I figured there might be a proprietary rivet squeezer for this application. I ended up making a series of convex punches (similar to pin punches), using two at a time to flair the rivet. Appears to have worked quite well. Thanks for at least responding. Paul

Full Bore Thanks for the response Please go ahead and try to explain. I have alot of experience with much larger rivets. I also have a fairly large collection of tools and the ability to fabricate specialty tools if necessary.

I have an HK era M1 Super 90 Field. I recently noticed the rivet which holds the front of the ejector housing to the barrel was missing leaving only the split pin at the rear to hold the ejector housing in place. I ordered and rec'd a new ejector rivet but am curious how this "rivet" is properly installed. It is essentially a VERY SMALL hollow type rivet without any flair on either end. Essentially both ends need to be flaired (most likely simultaneously). Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated. I did a search of old topics and could only find one post from 03 where someone else asked the same questions with no response. Hopefully, someone new can help out.
