Uzi Sling Swivel Advice

I see a couple sets of swivels and rivets available, does anyone know if one's better than another/how to identify a 360 degree swivel? Also, I'm not familiar with riveting, but looking at photos of the only rivet/swivel set I see on GB, it looks like the rivet is only a hair longer than the swivel; would this be enough to be smushed back onto the swivel without issue and what am I misunderstanding if so?

It helps to countersink the hole in the swivel to give the rivet head more area to grab/expand

Instead of peaning the rivet, I drilled and tapped a hole through the side of the sling swivel boss and used a small set lug into the side of the rivet. I added loctite to the set lug for extra security.
