Ordered one of these last year, it's time to drill the touch hole. I don't currently own a decent drill press

Anyone in Southern California that can do this?

I've seen it done with a hand drill using a 5/64" bit.

Hope you can find someone with a drill press.

Determine where the breach plug stops drill at speed with a new bit at appropriate angle.

I e never used a drill press to drill mine. Hand drill works fine
Dermal sells a mint press for about $50. Cheaper to buy that then hire a gunsmith

Hmm, hadn't thought about using my Dremel - thanks!

That is what I just did.
