Flint, I have a drill press, forester scope/sight jig, and 32" metal lathe, I think I can handle this. Thank you very much. This is an easy and inexpensive solution. I googled it and found out a bunch more. I had never heard of this before. I think the tapered pin is a better solution than a lug due to the fact the pin is custom fit, the scope base recoil lug is designed for mass-produced receivers. There is bound to be a bit of slop in there. Thank you.
