Walther Lgu cocking lever rivets

[rg627]

Hello

My Lgu needed it's cocking lever rivets tightening up. I managed to do it easily enough but it made me think, has anyone managed to replace these rivets with something neater like a socket bolt?

Maybe not a complete answer but I think I remember someone selling such an item to the AA or HW rifles some time ago and that the same part fitted both sets of rifles.
Maybe a Google of such an item or even a search on here may give a result.
Good luck
Phil

couple of ball bearings on the rivet heads & nipped up in a vice worked for me. You need 3 hands or the bearings taped in place

Cheers guys, I will have a search

Are they called 'removable rivets'? I am unsure of th technical name.

I did make an ally underlever with a magnetic catch a while back for someone , for that I made up a sort of top hat shaped nut , with abutton headed allen screw that worked well. A shame as I don't have pictures

My HW 77 has a bit of side to side play in the cocking lever, does the same fix apply?
