Better to have someone indicate your receiver to 1) verify the existingholes are actually placed at TDC and 2) place the new holes in the proper relationship to the existing.

Got pics?


Good advice there, I have seen a number of receivers with mis-aligned Forster Jig, holes. Just finished D&T on a Swede
