Southern Mountain Rifle Kit — Pin Hole Drill Jig

The pin hole drill jig is used to extend the pre-drilled 1/16" stock holes through the undrilled metal parts. Using the jig avoids enlarging the holes in the wood, which can happen with ordinary drilling.

Instructions:

• Fit the metal part fully into place and secure it with a clamp using light to medium pressure.

• Push the drill guide fully into the hole to be drilled.

• Chuck the supplied #55 drill bit (which fits the drill guide) into an electric drill.

• Insert the drill bit into the guide, hold the knurled brass knob, and begin drilling the metal part.

• Back the drill out frequently to clear chips.

• Drill until the hole extends through the metal part being drilled.

• Switch to the larger supplied drill bit.

• Remove the drill guide and insert the drill bit into the stock hole.

• Hold the drill so the bit is in line with the hole and slowly drill through the metal part. Stop once you have drilled completely through it.
