I have no idea how they did it at the factory (drilling the tapered hole, was it installed in the barrel and attached to the frame and then drilled? ). Any insight or suggestions would be most appreciated. I have a lathe and mill, one other question is the nipple depth (mine is somewhat recessed in the barrel).
