PK. Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Who made the gun? Please specify the type of hole in the receiver- diameter, counter bored, counter sunk, threaded, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThompsonCrazy Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 A fellow collector friend of mine is restoring an AOC M1 that had slight pitting around the L sight base. The sight was removed to lessen the pitting and now it looks fantastic however the sight needs to be re-attached. He was going to use a generic rivet but I thought I heard stories of incorrect shape, style, etc, from Richardson and others on the board. I remember seeing NOS rivets on Ebay in the past but have not seen them since the rule change. Thanks again, Brent Sorry: It is a WWII produced weapon not newer manufature. It is marked AOC behind the grip mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK. Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 The only source for the correct rivet that I know of is Doug Richardson. It requires a 60 degree head- very uncommon. If he is out of the country and you need help fast, e mail me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
