[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1246022, member: 24284"] Your major concern will be damaging the tooling. Just because everything went 'right' for Larry doesn't mean there aren't any pitfalls ahead. U-Tube is real good at making everything look 'easy'. They don't show the previous half dozen foul-ups before they got a 'good one'. I'd strongly suggest a 8mm hole for the liner verses the 5/16" Larry used. The liner needs to fit without bind and have room for the adhesive, be that adhesive epoxy or solder. I'm not real hot on Loc-Tite for this application, either. Larry used a aircraft drill for his 'long' tool. A short piloted drill can have an extension added if you're handy enough. What's left of the rifled hole is many of these old rifles wanders a great deal so the 8mm hole is your best bet for a slip fit of the liner. A piloted drill will help you stay on track. Piloted drills are available from Brownells, not that I like Brownells anymore than I like Midway. Both have turned into 'WalMart'. [/QUOTE]
