I have been approached by a friend that he wants to drill and tap a mauser action he has. What are you guys using for a task like this?
My initial thoughts on it are to just use the mill to locate and drill. Make a holding block for the action in the vise. Are you guys using any of the various jigs on the market? If so which ones and how are they working?
I do understand the importance of a good set up and have drilled and taped a bunch of things over the years. Just never a reciever. I have no problem buying tools but I can't justify the cost of a rig like the Forster for possibly only one time use.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
Nick
