[ARCHIVED THREAD] - drill bit sizes

Posted: 8/28/2006 12:42:29 PM EDT

This may be a dumb question, but how do you know what size holes to drill in the REC???

The template I have gives hole sizes to the thousanth of an inch, but states to ONLY use metric drill bits???

sounds a bit dumb to me.

thanks, what about all the other holes?

Should I just mic the pins with calipers and use the closest bit?

I think socandyman means that you want to use the 5/32" drill bit for all 6 of the front trunion rivets - the short rivets. Use the 11/64" drill bit for the two rear trunion rivets - the long rivets. Other than that, there aren't any other holes for a standard fixed stock AK.
