    Listen to Chuck on this one. The bit you will have to buy just for this job is a solid carbide three flute available from Brownells. Then you will have to buy the fixture. Have a Smith do the job with the correct tools and make sure they have done this type of receiver before.

    Considering what Jiffy-Lube charges for an oil change $50-$75 to drill and tap an 03-A3 is a gift.
