I’ve been having some ejection problems and noticed that my ejector is loose.

I’ve seen the BWE videos on re-setting the rivet. Are there special punches or tools used to re-set the rivet? Do rivets have standardized sizes, and if so, anyone know what size the Uzi uses?

Is there any big concern in trying to do this myself? Seems fairly straight forward.

I did it myself after watching Richard's video. It takes a few good whacks with a 3 pound hammer.

I made a specific anvil for the rivet head like Richard did as to not mess up the round head of the rivet. Other than that, it’s just a whackin it

I used a big flat brass punch set in a vise. It didn't mess up the rivet head too much. Make sure it is on the rivet before smacking it from the other side.
