No problem. Might want to use swell-neck rivets and countersink to take up a little slack but even if you don't it will be OK.

I just got mine from Dan's and it looks the same way. No biggie, I don't think it's anything to be concerned about. Build away!

I find that the Pols are not used to drilling. My rear trunnion has three rivet holes that closer resemble binoculars that holes. Ignorant ass bastids.

Not a problem. I would expect the rivets to fill up (swell into) the oversized portion of the holes when they are crushed.

its not a prob if you are doing a rivet build but it looks like you have started drilling out the rivets for a screw build in wich case its a big prob |

WOW. THE FINISH LOOKS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN MINE.
Mine looks like it's finished metal that has been colored black. yours looks like it has a coating already. Did you refinish yours? |

That is the finish that was on it. It is a grade 1 or grade A, it looks really good except for those holes that the polish or whoever drilled...

Mine's just not a charcoal/flat black finish. I got one step down from Collector's Grade, either A or 1, don't remember...
Mine doesn't compare in Finish but at least the rivets were BARELY drilled:   I think your left hole is great- they left a little rivet and the right looks like they realized just as they got into the metal of the front trunion then moved the bit to get he rivet... |
