Quoted:
Ok, I have been working on a G kit in my garage. Intended on using the U drive rivets. I was drilling the rivets in the front trunnion and managed to drill completely through the wall of the barrel. Is it fixable or did I just junk a barrel? You junked the barrel and you're planning to use an attachment method that has been proven to be probably the worst method available. |

OP, you were not the first to do that and won't be the last.
Life comes with mistakes, some of them cost a couple of hundred dollars. At least you won't do it again.... |

I took a couple of photos, but have not been able to figure out how to post them. When I achieve technical enlightenment I'll present evidence of my shame.
