| I am mounting a front sight base on a new barrel. I am going to align and secure the front sight base and barrel/receiver in vises. If I do this will I be able to use a hand drill to drill the new barrel notches so that the pins can be driven in? Will the existing FSB holes act as a pilot to keep the drill fairly straight as I drill the barrel notches without tearing up the FSB holes? |
