Oh Ship I can't believe I did that!!! Me bad! A good rifle smith friend of mine once told me "it ain't a mistake if ya can fix it"! Well, I am good at makin mistakes, especially the ones I know better not to do. I had a pilot hole (first pic) exactly where I wanted. When I drilled the tap size hole, it wandered off center. To repair, I slightly counter sunk the pilot half hole. Using a short chunk of #8 finish nail, I wedged it in the pilot half hole. Soldered the nail, and then tapped for 10/32 thread. Not perfect, but once the browning is on, it won't be visible. Remember, if women don't think you're handsome, they can at least think you're handy. (From Red Green)
