1816 Sling swivel rivet

[Ashland Grays]

Anyone know what type of rivet or pin is used to hold on the barrel band sling swivel on a Model 1816 Springfield.

Use a nail propably 16 penny size. Sometime it is tight enough where you don't have to punch it with a punch on the ends. But if it is not tight then punch lighty. Pretty simple. Rich
