sear safety rivet...
 

Hi to all, does anyone have a used sear safety retaining rivet? All I need is dimensions?? Height in thousands, and diameter in thousands... please measure what you have and share! Thanks and best to all, til...lat'r...GT....:cheers:

Nobody! OK, how'a bout this!
 

can anyone take some nice, decent, close up pictures of the sear safe attaching rivet head, on a Luger they have with the sear safe??... :eek:... The rest is pretty much self explanatory ... but there are countless rivet head shapes... If you can help out, I'd sure appreciate it... best to all, til...lat'r....GT:cheers:

GT. The originals had more of dome shape than the ones that I sent. Unfortunately, the only ones that I can find like that are brass (or plated). I'll send you a couple for inspection. Thanks for your trade, received today. Tom

GT, i might have one attached to a sear that I have laying around...

sorry I missed this earlier. I can check the one I have and also on a police luger.


REMIND me via email if I forget

Thanks Tom & Ed, for your help and assistance... hopefully, If I get good examples, I'll be able to make them same as original!.... Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT:cheers:

Hi G.T.
Here are a couple of rivet head photos. First is from my father's 1939 bringback Banner so I know it is correct. The second is from a 1941 Banner with a different shape.

Hi Tom, the first one shown is referred to as a "truss" style, and the second as "universal" I've seen both, and neither is readily available, to me anyway?...:eek: .. but think the truss is certainly period correct as you have stated.... Thanks a bunch, it all helps me a'lot! ....:thumbup:...til...lat'r....GT

sear safety rivets???
 

OK, hi to all! Here's what I've discovered so far..... As you might suspect, the rivets are the easy part!!!! :jumper:... I have discovered that all were done with a large variance in position and tolerance... There is a variance in the distance from the edge of the receiver, and also a variance in distance between the holes on a linear measure?? So, what does this mean?? Well, if you are re-riveting an original sear safety back on it's original receiver, or re-riveting it to tighten it up on it's original receiver.. then all that is needed is a new rivet, as of now, nooooo problem!! ...:thumbup:... BUT, if you want to reinstall a sear safety device from one receiver, onto a totally new application on another receiver.. you might encounter some issues... I'm thinking it's a crap shoot! maybe 50% interchangeability??... So, That's it... so far... more to come..BTW, the rivets turned out perfect... best to all, til...lat'r....GT:jumper::jumper:
