Oh man  I will rememeber forever this msg from member LHOOQ on drilling 1016 lugs:

 

"Wish I could add something, but all of my drilling work is outsourced! IYSK has all the main points covered, but it's a lot harder than it sounds.

(And to be honest, it already sounds hard to me!)" 

 

guessing as all in life its about having the right tools ( a drilling jig, I guess?)

Wow that looks fantastic! I have a similar build with 16000 case and yuki dial. I can’t bring myself to drill out the lugs though.
