Without a drill press how difficult will it be to add 1-2 8-32 set screws to my crosman steel breech without f-ing it up? I have a hand drill and have recently added a trigger stop with a 8-32 dye. This wasn't difficult at all. I'm just thinking the breech would be a more difficult task.
Is the steel breech a harder metal than the trigger frame and will it be more difficult to drill and thread? Can I them use the same drill bit and dye? And without a drill press I would have to be very steady to not make it look sloppy. Is this possible without a drill press?
It is possible. So much easier on a drill press though. More control of the feed rate and it keeps it square with the breech. I would say the breech would be harder material then the trigger guard. It still will drill fairly easy with a good drill bit. Take your time and use some kind of tapping fluid on your tap when you tap it.
