You're not doing anything wrong. Mine does the same thing. Look at the yoke the next time you squeeze a rivet...you'll notice that it flexes a little bit. That's all that's happening, I think. The yoke is acting like a big spring.
 
thanks i did not knew that since iv done all empenage with rivet gun and bucking bar it really suprise me thanks
 
I married my main squeeze about 12 years ago - been squeezin' her ever since. I think she likes it, I know I do. :D :D :D
