[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1662281, member: 26227"] If you calm down, grab a beer or two.. or like me grab a Bacardi and juice. then take the handguard off the rifle if you know how. measure the distance to the hole needed from the front of the receiver to the back of the threads of the adjustment screw, then offset the measurement with 1/2 the screw diameter. take a piece of tape and put it approximately where you need the hole. measure on your handguard where you need the hole. put a dot with a pen/pencil and take a ***** punch or center punch and mark the center of the hole with the punch and hammer. if you have a drill press, and if you have centering drills, use the #1 or #2 center drill to drill the piloting hole. then stage drill until it is as big as you need. yes, this is a long process but it makes the job look professional and it keep the drill from bending and making the hole in a location that is not exactly where you need it. hey morons! I am using the real name of a punch and you are censoring it out! learn your tool names! [/QUOTE]
