    Big thanks to Geoff for donating a set of NOS walnut handguards to the build!
    Pictures will be up next week once I get a little stock fitting done.

    Got one more out, but one is totally stuck.
    I drilled through, wedged an allen which stripped, then a torx, also stripped, then a modified flat which also was no good!
    I heated it up from the bottom, through the hole and the top to ensure the solder was good and melted, but she is STUCK!

    Ive orderd a 4Ba tap, so ill drill the hole with a 3mm endmill to ensure center, and tap the remaining material out.
