| How did you measure it. I found that if I lay the old rear part of the receiver on th enew one and then clamp it, then trace the holes with a sharp awl, the holes are pretty close. Center punch and then use a center drill to start the hole. Use a small bit to start. You can then see where your holes are and then adjust as neccesary. I leave the trunnion in place. Once you have the two holes on one side located and drilled correctly, leave the trunnion in place and use it as a guide to drill the holes on the opposite side. That way you only have to get the first two holes in the right place rather than all four. |
You know? Your post title reminded me o a joke about hitting the 'wrong hole' and this post of yours just got me to laughing uncontrollably with the visuals. TRG |

Sorry I found this so late as if you were really off my 1/4-inch and if the hole was small I would have just made the ole smooth and used a little JB weld to hide it... I had was off by a little in my last build (about 1/8-in) and I was using a very small bit (perhaps 1/32 bit?). JB weld made easy work of that little hole. |
