Kibler round faced lock drill/tap size?

[Robert Losekamp]

Howdy guys,

I have an older kit where the lock is not pre-drilled, before I continue with the kit I'd like to verify the sizes I need.

Thanks!

I did twice today, they must be out of office for the holidays. I can work on other parts of the rifle on my time off if need be.

Thank you. Am I drilling straight through the face of the lock and filing down any protrusion if there is any? I apologize for the amateurish question I'm new to this.

I'd come through the backside, using the existing lock bolt hole through the stock as a guide. Use a clamp to hold the lock in place while you do this.

I appreciate the advice! I stopped at the hardware store on the way home for some centering bits.

...and tap it the same way, all the way through the side of the stock.

Check your bolt thread size first. Take your time threading. It’s a gripe to remove a broken tap.

Got it done! Thank you everyone.

I believe he supplies a numbered bit and tap (now) as a chase situation. Check back with them after the new year.
