Call the customer and tell him to bring the hole thing in when he gets a chance.

You got some real gunsmithing to do.
First, locate center line of barrel. Next get your gas block hole dimensioned. Then fix the barrel in a vise and proceed to drill..but first drive a bullet in the barrel under the proposed gas port. This supports the barrel so break through isn't an issue and prevents burr formation. Drill away, stopping when you hit lead. Drive bullet out of barrel and check for burr. |

I can't see the pics for some reason, but I gather that there isn't a gas port drilled in it. I had that problem about a year ago with an 11.5" barrel of indeterminate manufacture. A gunsmith drilled the hole for me and all is good now.

Yes, I know what a reamer is, just wouldn't think it would remove the burr. Typically used for precise hole diameter and finish.
The slug in bore method is standard. |

It gives the achievement mindset that you "really did it all by yourself" that way
This is the problem with the modern gunmarket. Everyone wants to be part of gun ownership, and also everyone want to be part of the firearms industry. The owners and manufacturers side are filled with complete idiots. |

The hot gas on the first shot would take care of anything left. The bullet in the bore would work well. I wouldn't hesitate to do it my way with no worries about hurting the bore at all. I don't know how they do it in a high speed machining environment, but I would be surprised if they used the bullet method. |

In my experience, a sharp reamer will almost part the burr left by the drill bit. That is assuming that the drill bit was sharp and used properly and the burr was not ridiculous. |
