Customer Reviews
"Normally, I'll give most things a chance. I don't mind hard work ; am willing to put in more than the average amount of work to get something installed if the end result is worth it. This is one of the few exceptions where my time was worth far more than the product.
First off, you won't be able to drill the holes in the bolt/receiver with a hand drill. You need a drill press. Fortunately, I do ; that was the easy part of things.
Then tapping seemed to be doing fine ; was much easier than I expected (this was my first clue that something wasn't right). However, only too late did I discover that the bit provided for the hole was a tiny bit too large for the tap (yes, I used the smallest bit provided in the kit). So, the tapping didn't barely make any threads for the provided bolts to attach to. I ended up having to go to the next size up ; purchase a new tap ; bolts (which I had to custom cut to size). This is also where I discovered that the metal of the barrel is the hardest to tap that I have ever encountered (I've tapped my share of holes before). I broke two taps in the barrel. Extraction is near impossible due to the hardend steel of the taps ; the fact that taps like to snap right at the surface (leaving nothing to grab hold of). I ended up grinding for hours very carefully to maintain the thread's integrity with a diamond bit. I also had to open up the holes on the mount itself due to the larger screw heads. I suggest thread lock or super glue to hold the screws in place. Once mounted though, all was as it should be ; feels quite stable.
As for the bolt handle, I mounted it per the instructions ; have to say that I just don't trust it. One screw IMO doesn't have the strength for hundreds of cycles without failing ; when it does, you're gonna have a fun time removing it ; getting a new one in. I highly recommend finding someone who TIG welds ; just have it permanently mounted.
I haven't been to the range yet to know how stable it is, but it does seem promising. Better than the ebay $20 mounts that rely on the rear sight mount (which also require the use of a pistol scope due to the large distance from your eye)."

Well I got this parts kit and was a little intimidated by it. I've been fabricating and doing mechanic work all my life, and just recently got into guns so I consider myself to have an ample skill level. Judgeng by the other guys review he probably wasn't lubing the holes when tapped, the tap that is given to ou in the kit is a cheap tap, so you need to lube it well in order not to take the thread cutters off of it. Second it tells you in the intructions to use a drill press (but I have to say if I didn't have one I probably could have done it). I had a small problem with the alighment after I drilled and tapped the holes, I just drilled the mount out a little bigger to give me a little slack. My suggestion is to get a bit the same size as the holes in the mount, and drill a dimple into the riecever with the mount clamped in place. Then you'll have a nice center point for your hole. Now for the hard part the bolt. It was a little unerving cutting it off, I cut it off a little long and ground and filed it to fit. Also after getting it to fit I mixed up some JB weld (amazing stuff) and filled the cavity befor I put it on the final time and tightened it. That really made the bolt handle solid. All in all wasn't too bad to do, I wouldn't suggest it to the novice though. Have fun!
