Grainger is probably a good bet.
Just looked at their website. Yup. And I guarantee there's one near you. |

Whats MSC? I'll try the others too? Any particular idea what sizes I'd try? I'm not sure how many options there could possibly be between the two, or if all those options are absolutely necessary.
Just realized the link was for MSC, thanks. |

Wire Gauge Size drills are what you seek
A set that I have. Doesn't look like it has the one you need, though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IPPGKC?tag=vglnk-c102-20 |

Quoted:
Where would one go to find cobalt drill bits between 1/16th and 5/64th? Thats .0625 and .078mm for you metric folks. That's decimals, not metric.

Just saw my caliper was actually in In., I has some conversion sheets showing me In to MM so I got my wires a little crossed so I'm back on track now.

Just take the 1/16th bit and waller out the hole a bit.

Should I go from 1/16th to a 52, 51, 50, 49, 48 which are .003in increments are is that too aggressive for gas port tuning?

I'm planning on giving that exactly a shot later. I don't believe I'm far from there as I've had it chamber a new round maybe three times out of 200 rounds with it in the 1/16th port size setting.

Without dealing with Metric drills and specialty decimal drills, there are five numbered drill between those two fractions 48-52.
I wouldn't worry about buying expensive cobalt drills to open up a gas port, a standard HSS will work fine for enlarging it a few thousandths. |

It's orifice sizing so you should really be looking at the flow area.
Quick math gives shows the .0628 hole to be approx 1% larger than .0625, seems like a reasonable change to me. |

Forgive my ignorance but where did the .0628in come from? The chart I have in front of me shows a size 52 bit is .0635in.
