[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 1119512, member: 4676"] Get yourself a real punch, or at least something similar. :D (Nails aren't exactly made of the hardest metal) I don't recall one side of the rivet being the big or small side when I did this conversion on an sks for someone. That doesn't necessarily mean one side isn't though, it's just been too long for me to remember. You can use that nail though. Take the nail, put it in the center of the pin, and hit it to make a nice little crater/divot. Then, take a drill bit slightly smaller than head of the pin, center it in your divot, and slowly start to cut away at the head of the rivet. If you make it thin enough, it should drive out much easier. Be careful and drill for a second, look, then repeat as necessary. You don't want to drill the hole out any bigger. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
