I tried both a 3X and the 4X. The award definitely goes to the 4X gun which
sets the rivet quickly and it is easier to get a nice result.
It will take the same number of hits each time when you acheive the state
of Yo.
Also I found a 2 lb sledge hammer head as a bucking bar worked better.
This was my first rivet pounding project so I enlisted an RV helper. It is
a two person job.

I used a 4X gun and a 5lb bucking block of steel. The AN470AD-6-15's set just fine.
The trick is to not pull or let off the trigger without having pressure (arm
strong) against the factory head. The bucking bar just has to touch to shop
head, you don't have to press hard with the bucking bar. Once you have set a
few you can hear and feel when it is set right.
The 3X gun wasn't doing a good job. There were a couple I had to remove and reset,
the 4X gun expanded the rivets much better, the 3X gun rivets came out real
easy, not so with the 4X gun, it took more work to get them out and that is
a good thing here.
Here is how you can make it a one man job:
