Issues with riveted PMAGs

[wherermykeys]

Obviously I could ship them back to the dealer and have them fixed, but to me that is even more of a hassle than trying to fix it myself. Plus it takes time and I'd like to use these things like yesterday..

Which dealer? Would be nice for the rest of us to know before making an order.

Yeah well I'm a bit dim to say the least, so would you mind sharing?
Obviously getting rid of the damn things and not replacing them crossed my mind, but its my understanding that far too many babies and kittens would die as a result.
Replacing the old ones with new countersunk rivets sounds like a good option, but I'm still a "newb" and didn't wanna start messing around with something I've never done before, cuz I'm sure I'd probably schmuck it up somehow. Also, for the couple minutes it'd probably take to install new rivets, would I not be in posession of a prohibited device?
Just wanted to gather a bit of info and opinions before I do anything.
Thanks.

Seriously...take a metal file and file the rivets until they fit flush.
