[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2245242, member: 68758"] What did you use to open up the action screw holes? Just taking a drill bit to them with a hand drill isn't going to prevent the bit from wandering, even though it will tend to follow the original hole. A "piloted counterbore" is best used for this- and it works just as well with a hand drill. The pilot will follow the original hole perfectly, and the larger counterbore behind it opens up the hole. Some can be pretty pricey, but a cheap Chicom one will work just fine on wood/fiberglass. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
