bobcullen79 1,495 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Got the ballistol kit from swillington shooting supplies, sent by parcel force for £34.90. Im really enjoying this at the moment. Just hope it comes together nice. I`ll get some pics up at some point. Anyone know if the cocking lever rivet can be punched out?, Mat2803? Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 cocking lever rivet? which bit is that..? the sliding cocking shoe on mine came out I think when I took the piston out.? cant remember tho its months since I did my hw95k! Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 The rivet that attaches the cocking arm to the barrel. Im thinking I could use my vice as a press, by winding it in, it would push the rivet out.. Bit of hard wood with a hole drilled in it, to accept the rivet, and a bit of cut down nail to act as the punch? Sound precarious, but if Im careful, I think it will work... Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 why do you need to get that bit out tho?! Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 To seperate it to sand and blue properly. The guys done it in the picture above, and having done the blueing twice now, I know this is a problem area, that needs splitting for best results. Quote Link to post
thursodog 353 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi Mate. Great looking job on the blueing. Yeah the rivet iseasily tapped out with a punch a little thinner than the rivet as you have already done. It can be used again. When your ready to fit it just tap in the rivet making sure you push in the side of the rivet thats narrowest ( the side that was forced through on extraction) The next bit is a little fiddly, i used 2 centre punches, 1 set vertical in my vice point up, i rest the side thats not been flattened on this whilst getting someone to steady the barrel and lever. Take your other punch and gently hod it downward onto the upward facing dimple of the rivet and gently hammer the centre punch which will splay the rivet faces its original secure state. Lastly apply some gun blue to the faces of the rivet to finish it off. All the best C 2 Quote Link to post

Yes it well punch out just give it a good wack you might have to flat one end down when it goes back in or buy an after market on with a screw fit you can get them off eBay for a tener well worth it if you like to tinker tho sorry for late reply not been on Quote Link to post
Mat2803 18 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 The super blue in my opinion is darker and better to apply. It's like painting a car it's all in the prep work get that right and the finish is easy Thanks for all your comments Quote Link to post
