This is one on me. I clicked the thread thinking you wanted to know how to take one out

I assume you're using the proper rivet made for the swivel rather than a pop rivet. Those rivet guns are for pop rivets.
While there's likely an expensive tool to do it with I just use a center punch to flare the hollow end of the rivet then smack it flat with a punch that is larger than it is.
Be sure to back the other side on something solid so it doesn't just punch through.
