Drilling and tapping M1917 receiver
Hi,
Can i please beg some advice from those wiser than me?
Drilling and tapping a Winchester M1917 for a picatinny one piece bridge, how would you best position the holes in the front receiver ring?
My jig is for a barrelled action, so would you just use one hole where its safe to drill through? am i right to worry about putting a hole into the lug lock up region? or should the hole closest to the mouth of the barrel be blind, and if so how deep would you go?
And it was already converted to a target rifle before i got it so i'm not going to hell for ruining a classic..
Thanks and best regards
