    just thinking out loud - you need a form, and a rounded punch to get it perfect.

    I bought these when making and attaching clips+rivets to new krag handgaurds.
    For a form, you could make your own - drill a hole in a block of hardwood or aluminum, and carefully round over the edge of the hole with a needle file, chamfer tool, whatever works.
    Or, maybe a round rivet-set form would work too?
