[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Best way to convert SP1 to small hole?

Posted: 3/8/2006 8:00:27 PM EDT

JB Weld or the "adapter" ??

The adapter had 3 rings, only 2 could fit and very loose. Not so good.

If JB weld - how do I redrill the hole without goofin my lower?

I saw one with a brass piece inserted in the hole to bring it to .250.

I had Mike Klos do mine, and the fit is absolutely perfect.

What do you do for a front pivot pin when having that done?

Been thinking of having that done myself.

That picture looks like the lower was grit blasted with play ground sand. It don't really look like that?

Your choices are narrowed down to either using one of the pivot pins with detents in the end to hold it in place, or one of the small, screw-type factory Colt pivot pins.

No, it might have been the way the Norrell's molycoat looked with my cheap camera. The day after the above photo above was taken, I sent off the entire rifle for Walter Birdsong's Black-T finish so that everything would match. When my batteries charge up, I'll try to get a better photo.

They are available in a flattop upper, and there seems to always be a glut of large hole A2 uppers. Its just another option for you.

You can get a Big hole flattop from PRI. Option B is to get a new pivot pin lower and transfer the guts and stuff over.

Unless you have a hard on for Ponies on your magwell.

Your macro function is about as good as mine. We need new cameras.
