Jeremiah Johnson 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I hope someone can help me, I am a stupid moron, and drilled the hole to close to the chamber or barrel opening, whatever you call it, so now I had to elongate the hole in the bullet guide and it still wont go in right to where the screw is sitting flush, because the hole in the trunnion is to close to the barrel opening. I am kicking myself for trying this because I knew if anyone can screw it up I could. Any suggestions for this? I am worried about trying to elongate the hole in the trunnion back further because I can see me ending up with a big hole in the trunnion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigafreake 27 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 maybe get a thinner and longer bolt and and put a nut underneath the trunnion to hold it in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james peek 14 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 i would take and post some pics of your problem so pros or experienced conversionists can see the prob. i have done one recently. you need to mark the hole with a automotive punch "with the guide in place" sounds to late for that of course "just for future refrence". sounds like you can use the nut method. good luck. i'm sure u will get it.

Jeremiah Johnson 0 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 my drill bit slipped but I didn't know it, and I drilled the hole to far forward, now it wont line up, has anyone else done this? I wonder if I should just epoxy it and if so what kind to use, I do not want to make a big hole in my trunnion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not trying to be a jackass, but did you mark your trunnion with a center punch with the bullet guide in place to get your drill point location? with a hard enough hit to a center punch, your bit shouldn't move at all. this i know...im an Iron worker.

Paulry 50 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I did it, not as bad as you. I was a little off (I need god damn glasses!) I wallowed out the hole and filed down the Allen head a little bit, not much as you have nothing to grab with with the allen wrench. worked fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thehopping1 105 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 You could weld up the hole and start over. Might be a little more difficult to drill but then it would be right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
