Default Section 9: special bucking bar

I noticed in section 9 that a special buck bar is required. Does anyone else other than Avery sell them? Avery is out of stock. Is there another option to set these rivets? Can a back riveting plate be used some how?

Alternatively, is there anyone out there done with their special bucking bar? I either purchase from you or borrow and send back when I am done with it.

thanks

Setting rivets with this bar was really easy.. I wouldn't try to wing it.

Send me a pm... I can lend you mine

That would be the figure 4 on page 09-17 I presume.

I have a noob question then. Bucking bar.... AISI 4140 I suppose, a good toolk steel. I might get a guy in one of the two chapters I go to meetings with who has a machine shop to make me one if Avery doesn't keep them.

I have made a few ( and used them) out of any steel I had around. Sand and polish the surface, maybe even scotchbrite wheel. Yes, tool steel is nice, but rivets are pretty soft. If you are building a 14, a 14 guy should probably answer.
