Fortunately, next time I have to replace the uppers I won't have to deal
with the damned rivets, since the recall replacement uppers are now
bolted on instead of riveted.
Of course, the lowers are still original... I'll probably replace them
when I have some spare cash even though they still appear to be fine.
I'd rather not chance it.
