I'm moving the hole to get it centered. When I was done, the hole was exactly where I wanted it, without breaking the bit or the tap. What most do not understand is just how much variations in the metal of the screw causes the hole to walk. The drill has to be steered. Guys that don't do this work assume that the drill will go straight in, just because it was drilled in a drill press. Gunsmiths that do this kind of one off work know better. Just Sayin...............

Nice

[@garymitchell5899]

Anyone else concerned when the drill bit goes in at 45 degrees?

[@anthonyfiore8917]

Good now i can fix mine lol

[@earlcollinsworth]

Mark, you're such a virtuoso at this! Thanks!

What's the thing at 14m 27sec that holds the screws called? I need one but can't find anything. I don't know what to call it.

Mark,

[@rick-kx7gy]

Wouldn't it make more sense to start such tiny screws with one thread before applying locktite ? . Or put a drop down inside the hole first ?.

[@olyolson2576]

What a royal PITA! But nicely done. Wow.

[@patrickunite]

I need this exact repair done….

Exellent job with that hand drilling. That would not have worked for me. I would had to used a split bushing and a lathe.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Astounding job as always Mr Mark. Is the a title for your intro & close out music? Love the cello.

[@Wall2000x]

I fix stuff for a living. I learn something in every episode. Thanks Mark & Bruno.

I love what looks to be an RSC French WWI semi-auto just casually hanging out in the back of the whiteboard shot.

Germans, if there's a way to overly complicate something they will figure it out.

[@JJGuccione]

The guy that thought the counter-intuitive rotation would work brilliantly really wasn't that brilliant. I'm certain to him it was perfect.

The "russian" accent stole the show for me xD
