  no need to heat rivits..
  most use a air cheapo chiesel with a round rivit bit & backing bucking bar (crow bar, any heavy piece of metal)
  crude but works onagerin
  
  real crude.. use 5lbs hammer & round air chiesel bit - also works..
  
  get your rivit sets from kvarcorp.com . get 2 sets!
  you screw one up, drill it out and use the spare rivit.
  
  watch your headspace when setting the trunion, check & recheck!
  
  or pay someone $125 to put it all together for you!
