I need to look up the hole diameters. I have a few spares in my kit I can play with. I think a skinny tapered rat file, inserted from behind and gently twisted in the opposite direction as its teeth spiral will do the trick with no burring. I don't where I read that, old smith book on my shelf or likely here.

You might be the winner Brian! (Although I have full confidence that Chuck found it...he didn't point to its location)

Well,
I guess you could you call me Bubba. Wouldn't be the first time, or the last I guess.

One time I needed a rear sight and thought a 1905 would fit up just right about right.

Nah...Bubba doesn't believe in the rule "Do no harm". Anything that can be swapped on and off is fair game...I have a flashlight zipped to an m1 carbine right now in the bedroom. do they make flashlights that fit on bayonet lugs?

That is a really fun idea! It wouldn’t be hard to do with a 3D printer.

Make the handle with a set of loops at bottom, replacing the finger guard with the front loop. Those hold the flashlight...

I saw another one, over $100, discontinued (gee wonder why) that gives a ring with a screw to hold the flashlight.
hmm...nothing for my Garand home security system though.
Maybe I'll get one of those cheap knock off bayonets, and use duck tape to attach a flashlight, and gain the benefit of both.
