You could always try drilling them out with the barrel in place, but that is a hassle and you are better off pressing out the barrel from the front trunion completely so you can drill out these rivets without worrying about drilling into the barrel.
A twelve dollar puller from auto zone and a few pennies work well.......

some people rebuild their AK's using screws instead of rivets.
I do!!

but screws tend to loosen and move under stress causing the mounting holes to get elongated over time.
Not mine! I use red locktite, they stay in place firmly.

Without the proper tools and a jig set up to bend this "Flat" you just bought is nearly impossible to bend precisely

Building an AK47 is a rewarding experience, one that if you get past the first you will want to repeat again and again.
