Since Arsenal has both started installing spring-loaded firing pin bolts in its rifles and has decided to concentrate on stamped receivers, I know I'll never be able to get an SA M7 with both a scope rail and a free-floating firing pin.
Since you can't really switch bolts between rifles without checking headspace, does anyone know how to attach the side scope rail mount to the receiver?
I know I'll have to drill the receiver, but does anyone have a surefire way for attaching the rivets? The flat side of the rivets is on the outside of the receiver, and the middle rivet is recessed pretty far into its hole's bevel. Plus, whatever tool used will have to be able to reach into the hollow of the receiver.
Anybody have any experience with this?
