Thanks for the feedback. I'm replacing the tie plate pin that broke in the first place (one head came off). The forend cracked in the gap between the draws where the pin goes through. I'm hoping to epoxy the crack AND the new brass pin without having to drill new holes. The smallest threaded wire I can locate is 3/32 which is larger than the existing holes in the plate and stock and don't want to try a "perfect" drill in both as they would have to be.
