Nevermind the smashed trunion & pintle pad rivets as I havent had time to dress them, my main goal was to smash them into the chamfers. The lower plate rivets certainly are ugly
, I had a hell of time keeping the Air compressor running w/o tripping the breakers, the first rivets 3 are kinda okay they are rounderer. I had to smack the remaining rivets with punches and hammers to get them to fill the chamfers. I am very please with the gun but unhappy that the air hammer got away from me 2 times and left those stinkin smilie faces
Ahhhh the joys, I lost the rear sight detent waffer, musta fell out during the hammering, I got 1 more rivet left.

Anyway, does anyone have an idea as to how to remove these dents or am I S.O.L.? My Dad asked if it would be easier to remove the lower plate buy a new one and redo the whole riveting procedure
Ummmm NO!
