    if you're gonna use a center drill, you shouldnt have to flat spot it. not like a center drill is gonna walk.

    do you have a pic? im not comprehending.

    I figured its not worth the risk on campus these days. The barrel with all the AK parts on it looks enough like an AK to be a potential problem. Doug, if you dont mind doing it at the off campus shop, that will probably work. Using a real mill would also allow me/us to just use a round end mill and mill out the slots side-to-side using the x-y axis on the mill table before pressing the blocks on. Man I'm gonna have to do some nasty **** to Doug by the time this thing is finally done...

    Well after discovering that a single end mill would cost as much as 2 of each of the 4 sized drill bit I would need (8 total, all cobalt), I decided to forgo the endmill idea and stick with drilling em out. If that doesnt work, I will call Dougie.
