New Builder Intro/Help

I used 1/8 carbide bits to cut through the rear trunnion. Use oil to keep the bit cool and help lubricate it. Switch bits often. I recommend using 1/8 over 5/32 since it provides you with a little bit of a lip so you can punch out the rivet, plus some room since the bit will want to move around the hole you are drilling. All you need is just a little bit to grab with a vice grip and you are good to go.

Wait on the barrel pin, and front trunnion rivets. Those will come out in about 2 minutes at the BP.
