Sam Browne Stud Attachment

[JamesR]

Hello,

I just purchased some Sam Browne studs with back studs (rivets) and an anvil

I am not sure how the back stud locks itself into the front piece.

What tool should I use to hit the stud in? How do you know when it is tight enough?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim

There is an anvil available in which the stud rests and the back of the rivet is tapped in.

If you're a handy person, you could make one of these, by stacking a washer with a small enough hole to catch the rim at the base of the stud on top of a board with a hole big enough for the rest of the stud. Or, as cheap as they are, just buy the one from Springfield (Tandy probably has it, too).

I use an old socket, like in socket wrench. It's a junker I found somewhere and not good enough to be a wrench ... made in *^*&^&* ... LOL!
