Here is a dome head, structural blind (pop) rivet. Not the right size, but available.

Those dont even come close to looking like the thick dome heads in the screen cap I posted. Those look nearly identical to the low profile commonly used on replica ESB sabers.
Saying I'm blind to your photo 'proof' is crazy hilarious. I'm saying I don't believe that photo shows either way. You are saying it's 100% a fact. It's nice to see your opinion is right and my opinion is rubbish because it's not the same as yours.
"Crazy hilarious"?
Arent you the guy who was running around the TFA graflex lightsaber thread claiming with certainty that every single Rey/Luke lightsaber shown in the film had the short grips?
Someone even questioned you and you told them to "stop seeing what you want to see".
Telling people to mark the Bluray release date because the high def footage would prove you right and Warning people that they would have to undo their grips?
In the end ALL but ONE TFA saber had the short grips.
Some of your own posts from that thread-

Re: TFA Graflex Research (That's a Graflex, right? Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)
I just got back from seeing EP7 again, and I'm going to make a bold statement.
The Hero, non-bladed, Screen-Used Lightsaber has grips that are short. There is a 1/8 or less space between the grip and the bottom, and 1/8 or less space between the grip and the clamp. The grips on the EP7 Lightsaber are shorter than the ESB Lightsaber.
[b You can write that down, save it for April when the Blu-Ray is released, and see that what I've just said is true.[/b]
In Maz's box, when Finn is handed the saber by Maz, in the snow, when Rey is bringing the saber up to ignite it, and at the end when Rey is holding the saber out to Luke. In all those shots, the saber grips are 1/8 short of the clamp.
Exactly like the VD.
The Maz box scene is interesting because of how it plays out.
Rey opens the box, but you don't see inside.
Cut to Rey's face.
Cut back to the box and see the saber, but the angle is bad to tell the grip length
Cut back to Rey's face
When it cuts back to Rey reaching in the box to touch the saber, you can clearly see the gap.
At the end, you get basically a side-shot in daylight when Rey first extends the saber and the gap is there.
If you don't believe me, no worries, I'll see you guys in April with the ably-Ray. But if you're making an EP7 Lightsaber and you want it to be accurate. you need to cut grips 1/8 short at the top and the bottom.

The Grips are short, even in every scene when it's sticking in the snow.
The saber in Finns jacket from the promo shots may or may not be a screen used saber, but the one in the movie has short grips.

In the Maz photo you posted, you can see the short grips. Look at the top of the top grip up by the clamp and down at the bottom.
Gap. All day.

And by short grips I don't mean short vs tall, I mean the length is short.
In the Finn fathead, yes the grip height is taller than the other saber grips.

In the Finn fathead photo, you can see in the grip in-line with the clamp the 1/8 gap.
The gap is there in all the other grips also, you just can't see it in that photo due to the angle.
The saber sticking out of the snow has a gap on both ends. If that saber is the Finn fathead saber, it would make sense as the Finn fathead saber grips are short in length just like all the other sabers used in the film.
So people cant see the gap due to the angle, but apparently you can?

They are short in length in the snow.
Anyone can can think otherwise. No harm, no foul.
This one is especially funny-

Re: That's a Graflex, right (Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)?
No, the unused Maz scene saber had the short grips, same as the Maz box and the VD.
You can see 2 grips here 1/8 inch short of the clamp.
Going back and looking at photos posted in this very thread and every lightsaber has the short grips.
Every clear photo we have, including the Wired saber and the sabers made for the Disney display, have grips that are 1/8 short of the end of the tube. All of the light sabers seen on screen have a 1/8 gap between the grips and the clamp also, including the saber in the box, Rey giving the saber to Luke, Maz giving the saber to Finn, the un-used scene of giving the saber to Leia, Rey holding the saber before fighting Kylo, and even the saber sticking out of the snow.
The grips are short. I know everyone wants them to be exactly the same length as the Luke ESB but they are short and styled like the ROTS Anakin prop.
The Finn fathead grips are taller, there is a visible gap at the top, and we can't see the bottom and don't know if there is a gap also.
I said it earlier, I'll say it again: the grips are short. If you use regular length grips and go from clamp to end like a Luke ESB your Rey Ep7 lightsaber will be inaccurate.
Please look at the high-res photos and stop seeing what you want in blurry photos. The grips are short.

It's too blurry to tell for sure, but I'm telling you, the grips are short the bottom just like the Anakin ROTS saber.
If you don't believe me, no worries, but it's gonna stink when you're pulling your grips off after the Blu-Ray and behind the scenes shorts show the short grips on all the screen-used sabers.

The image is "too blurry to tell" but yet youre telling everyone the grips are short?!!
Lol
Heres another-
It's okay if you think that. Since we can't see the bottom of the fathead saber, right now there is no way to tell for sure, unless someone could measure using the top of the grip and measure to where the notch is cutout and compare it to the length of the known short grip saber.
If the distance is the same, then the tall grip fathead saber has short grips as well.
However the snow scene saber has short grips.
You say you theres "no way to tell for sure", but yet somehow you know?
Btw the snow saber had long grips, along with every other Luke saber except for the Maz box saber.
Seems to me youre under the impression that youre the only one who can determine details from from blurry photos with certainty while the same claims by others are just "crazy hilarious".
Maybe you should take your own advice.
Keep on mind that you went on about your declaration of short grips, based on blurry photos, for several pages over a course of weeks, insisting that you were correct and everyone was wrong.
I posted a photo and you immediately swoop in and claim its invalid because its too blurry to tell? Lol
