[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1155657, member: 41122"] Thats a pretty cruddy situation. My biggest concern is that drilling brakes to set hole size could yeild a larger hole that still runs out because drills will just follow the bore. To re do this work could yeild and even greater bore dia further hurting the effectiveness of the brake. I personally prefer to cut threads and a shoulder to match the bore and usually the barrel only drops less than an inch. Then crown and bore the brake, and finish the od last. Your best bet is to go with new brakes and a new smith, but your gonna pay to do all the work over again + new brakes. Id be happy to do them for you but youll have to pay to ship to texas and im sure your not liking the idea of extra expenses at this point. [/QUOTE]
