Do I need bolts thru new 03a3 stock?

For a different approach to remove the stock pins:

I use a hollow drill, a 6” section of 1/8” thin wall steel tubing, I cut teeth in one end and mounted the other in the chuck of a drill press. I held the stock in a fixture so this hollow drill was aligned with the Pin. You could probably do this free hand and the hollow drill would follow the Pin. I never tried it this way, so I do not know for sure. You will end up with about a ¼” hole were the Pin was and install the stocks Bolts using these holes.

Based on all the inputs, I plan on replacing the pins with the bolts. It is a SC stock on a Remington rifle, so can't keep correctness anyway.
