The OCCAM DEFENSE Mag Catch Swaging Tool makes installation of mag catch rivets a cinch. Using a hammer or press CAN have great results, more often than not the result looks... ugggh. Hammering also results in a knife edge that's nearly impossible to get rid of. AKs already cut us enough- we don't need to add sharp edges! Enter the mag catch swage tool. Simply put, set the trigger guard assembly up, turn the screw til the slack is out of the system, and give roughly one full turn (until major resistance is felt) and you're done!
There are two tutorial videos on YouTube covering this product. We urge you to watch them prior to using the tool:
The Mag Catch Swaging Tool is machined, anodized, and assembled in Idaho, USA. Some of the piece parts may come from overseas.

Mag catch swaging tool
Makes things so much easier. Very convenient. Took me a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but man does it work. Also, they never said it was back ordered so it took forever to get. So buyer beware.

Easy to use tool
Tool was easy to swage a new mag catch pin. I would recommend watching the mag catch swage video from ocam as there are quirks with the ak platform and this tool is no exception. The results are great though. It would be nice if the tool came with the exact 90 degree counter sink to great an even better fit and maybe some spare pins in case of a mistake.
