Ordered 1/10/13, shipped today! Looks like they are getting caught up!

Conversion done on Thursday (work and drinking time mixed in there), range time today. My baby ate everything I fed her without a single FTF or FTE! I will call this one a success, start dressing her up, and on to a 410 for the wife!

Lol Thank you VERY much for pu

Lol. Big John, had you posted that last night I would be done by now! I bought the parts off Goldeneye76 on here, and have been chatting with him and sending pics as I go. I tend to overthink things a bit, so I research too much and then try to remember EVERYTHING I read. Amazing what a smoke break and a beer will do to get your mind back on track! Everyone here has been awesome, kudos to you all!

It is done. All of that worry for nothing. Those little Russian rivets aren't as tough as some I have drilled out in the past. Paint is drying, now onto profiling the hammer, cutting down the BHO, and polishing the bolt!

I had everything laid out, ready for the conversion, and chickened out at the last minute with the drill. After holding up the 3/16 drill bit to the axis pins I quickly realized there is a very good chance it was going to "walk" on me. I was thinking about going to buy a bit with a pilot tip when I go to pickup paint and a vise (also realized having a vise was probably a wise investment too). How forgiving is the rivet that is being drilled out? Should I look for a different bit, or man up and drill the thing?
