I just finished four, drilled the hole two marks right of zero with a #48 bit and used a 5/64" drill end for the pin. After drilling the hole I pushed the end of the 5/64" bit into place then marked it with a fine felt tip pen. Cut to length by holding the keeper end in a small vise grip then using a Dremel cut off wheel. If you cut it too long, grind some off the end and try again.
Thanks for the info in this thread. The drill rod seems to be an easier, more positive system than the ball bearing way.
That's what were all here on the campfire for, too help each other out. I to think the drill rod is a better way to go than the ball bearing. Glad it worked for you, good shooting.
