Can anyone tell me what diameter hole to drill to install tang bushings for the superposed trigger guard tang screws. Thanks, | ||

I would measure the bushing and select the appropriate drill. Don't know any other way. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

Well the bushing has little 'teeth' that are greater diameter than the bushing body to keep the bushing from pulling out when tightening the screw. I would have to go measure but I believe about .015-.020"greater from memory. Do you think that a hole the diameter of the body would suffice. | |||

The bushing is indeed about .020 larger than the hole. It's driven in about 1/64th below the bottom of the wood and then a drop of superglue is allowed to soak into the joint between the wood and bushing. Don't get it in the threads or you will have to chase the threads with a tap. I put some modeling clay in the threaded hole while gluing. When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years! Rod Henrickson | |||
