[QUOTE="Apex Custom Rifles, post: 1739469, member: 19307"] If you don't the the ability or tooling to set that up in a fixture to drill it, You could get a reamer 20-25 thou over the size of the hole and ream it out by hand. Drill bits in a powered hand drill can make a mess of that real quick and you lack control of the drilling process. I usually have them set up in a milling machine and double check clearance before bedding, or a large drill press if you can clamp it down solid. Can be done on a drill press, but make sure to go slow, line everything up before drilling, and make sure everything is clamped down well. It's not a critical dimension, you are just creating clearance for the screw. However, I've seen chunks of stock taken out of mainly wood or laminate stock when people try to run a powered hand drill in there. Bit catches and blows out a piece on the top or bottom. [/QUOTE]
