This video hosted by the CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, Larry Potterfield, details the process of removing old screw holes from a gun. Whether the holes were drilled to mount a scope, receiver sight, or any other accessory, they can be easily removed using simple hand tools. This process starts by removing the first couple of threads in the screw hole using a chamfer tool. Then anneal some oval head screws that match the threads of the hole and screw them into place. Using a medium weight ball pein hammer, flatten the heads so they completely fill the hole and then dress down the screw head using a fine file. Now the metal can be polished and prepared for bluing.
