Back when I was building Ak's I made a squeezer using a Harbor freight bolt cutter for the rivets.Not sure what the rivets look like you need squeezed.

Re: w/tb rivet squeezer ??

my favorite rivet tool that can squeeze huge and small is a "huk hk150" manual rivet tool. It's a hydraulic tool that can build up 3,000 lbs of force. Guys up north can put cleats in a snowmobile track with this tool by hand. May be a little pricey used but i bought one off ebay dirt cheap months ago. Only downside is using it upside down on occasion you draw in air and it won't pump up, just start over.
