I just got my mag today and it both looks and works great. The only thing I need to do now to make it into a side arm is to drill and tap two holes for the asa in the back part of the rail. I have drill bit and I have the right size taps is there anything else I need?

Basically my plan in so take the rail and clamp it to my workbench. Drill the holes with a 16 volt drill and then hand thread the holes with the tap applying copious amounts of WD-40 to keep from messing up the rail and breaking the tap.

you'll be better off using a drill press. that way the hole is straight and you can use a tap guide to start the tap straight so it doesn't break. make sure your using the right size bit for the tap. when tapping, make a full turn, then back it out a half turn to break the chip then go another turn and repeat.

Yup. Find yourself a press. Chances are you will drill the holes at an angle a bugger up your threads. Everything else is spot on.

if you can't find a press to use, you can send it to me and i'll drill and tap it for you on mine. it'll just cost you shipping both ways.

Thanks for the help offer but after much though I decided not to molest this beautiful marker with more holes.
