I’d take it over the heat we’re getting! 97 F and 90% humidity here on the US east coast. I’ll be shooting pistol with my younger son in law, tomorrow morning. He called me to ask if I’ll be OK in the heat. I must look older than I feel.

Yes round column mill drill and it gets a hammering trust me . Yes mate do the whole process . Had a profiling tool made to do the sides of the rail. Then had another tool made for doing th radius for different actions aswell . But luckily a few actions have the same front and rear radius so didn't need to have heaps made . Also have a flat bed cnc router but need to learn how to do all the technical stuff to get it going
