Geneally the part is located by the jig and drill bushings are used.

Micheal Petrov found the video linked below showing drilling on a receiver. Ludicrously fast, but think how many rifles were being produced a day! Tooling is as important the design of the weapon. If you can't produce it efficiently, and repeatably, then you are doomed.

Hi People,

Thanks for all the good tips!
I disassembled the rifle of all his parts. I have placed the receiver in a correct position in a clamp of a drillingstation, luckily my father had these tools at his work.
I maded some well-directed centerpoint for all the screws, and drilled these points out.
Afther that a tapped the correct thread in the rifle and finally placed the pads onto the rifle.
I'm very happy with the final result.
Maybe I will place some pics of the rifle later on the forum.
Thanks again for al the help!

Kind regards, simon
