Do it yourself with some basic tools?
Betting a vise and two rivet dies/squeezers would work |

Replacing one where the tang was cutoff, or swapping to a different type entirely? (As I can’t see swapping a standard for a standard unless it was cutoff for one of the US adapters or whatever…)
I hate rear rivets, so not me…. Two Rivers gets recommended a lot. |

Cut off heads of rivets and use a punch or blunt nail to drive them out
Watch some YouTube videos on how to use a ball peen hammer to form a rivet head. Practice on some scrap with cut off nails When you can make nice heads then use the real rivet on your trunnion |

I'd help you do it. With the right tools it's more difficult to remove the old rivets than install a new rear.

I carefully dremel off the heads then drill out the center of the rivet shank till it’s paper thin. Then knock out the trunnion with a hard plastic hammer. Then, install what ever you want. Might need to weld up the holes in the receiver if it’s a different trunnion. |
