This weekend I decided to install a new barrel and needed to add a cocking arm to it. I didn't have a press or a sturdy vice to flare the rivet ends. I came up with an alternative method that might be useful for others.Essentially I glued the rivet in one side at a time with a two part clear epoxy. I used a slower set epoxy left over from my rod building. You can use regular devcon 5 min epoxy. You'll just have to work quicker.Step 1 - degrease all surfaces with denatured alcohol.Step 2 - set arm and rivet in place.Step 3 - mix epoxy 50/50 Step 4 - slide rivet to the side to uncover one hole and spread epoxy around hole with tootpick.Step 5 - same as step 4 on the other side.Step 6 - center rivet. Step 7 - before it fully cures, clean up excess epoxy with denatured alcohol or acetone. Step - Wait for it to fully cure and oil cocking arm. Don't worry about the epoxy transferring from the rivet to cocking arm. The cocking arm has enough leverage to break it free if any epoxy transfers. Any epoxy in the joint will quickly wear away.Perhaps the best part of this method is ease of disassemble. Heating the pin and corners of the breech block with a propane torch will soften the epoxy and the rivet will push right out with a drift.There is a downside. The rivet as delivered is longer than the breech as it's meant to be flared flat. At full length the sharp edges of the rivet are somewhat exposed. Not an issue with a gun with a full length stock like most of the newer Weihrauch models. On Weihrauchs with exposed breeches it might snag on things. The flares can be ground down to proper width and reblued for these guns if snagging is a concern.HTHRon
