Top bow pivot repair

Post by Kendall »

I was messing around with the top bows to my M38A1 and twisted in two the rivet that held one side together (and allows them to pivot). How easy is it to replace that rivet (if at all) or shall I consider a bolt with a locking nut? Other suggestions?
Thanks,
Kendall
