[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 755947, member: 2736"] Normally all you have to do is re-tap the hole with the next size tap (6/32 to 8/32). If it is the front thread on top of the barrel tenon you should take it to a smith and have the barrel removed to correctly tap the hole. (A bottom tap will work but the threads will not go all the way through and there is a risk of damaging the tenon threads. If you can bolt the base down it will work as a guide for the larger drill size for the tap. you will have to inlarge the shoulder size in the base for the larger screw also. (Be carefull not to drill all the way through with this drill bit. J E Custom [/QUOTE]
