For that kind of hole get a reamer with a pilot. Spend teh $$ and 

avoid ruining the part. Never push a reamer.

Standard practice.



If you don't want to spring for the trick reamer use a drill bit with 

a hand chuck from an old drill and slowly work up to the correct size 

using hand force only.  Use drills from a set of number sizes since 

they offer smaller difference from size to size. I only found one or 

two that had metal to be removed all the rest has just paint.

Sigh, I have a sign on my tool box left over from construction that 

says "PULL THE REAMER"



Some of the holes on the KF need a long extension to avoid 

interference. I have 3 of them that will extend a reamer about 3'. 

This allows better alignment in some cases. Won't take the place of a 

pilot reamer, but it does get those hard to reach holes.



BTW, My M-4 did not need a pilot reamer.

The problem with pulling it through is that it's on the closed end 

of the mount. The tight space and the powder-coat inside the hole 

made it impossible for me to pull the reamer through.

Not too savvy. How do you pull a reamer? I just can't picture it in my  mind. Thanks, Don

Put it backwards through the hole then fit it into your hand drill. 



After some some advice I received offline, I assembled the right mount with the control column. Once the nut and bolt were tightened everything squared up and everything was solid, no problem here. I'm still going to get a new right pivot.
