Just drill and blind tap a shallow hole on the bottom of the barrel just forward of the end of the pin; install a small screw in the hole.

Personally and this is just me but I think a 58 with the lever removed looks ridiculous. It destroys the lines of the gun. Even the 75 Remington has a web under the barrel that resembles one. I think what you're referring to on the Kirst latch is a cut in the lever that fits over the ejector rod knob.
