Mauser receiver drilling jig, who makes one

[Hogpatrol]

One of my buddies that has drilled Mausers suggested a carbide drill. I know nothing about these actions but if they're hardened, that type of drill is a must. I'd probably use a carbide end mill the nominal diameter and go down below the surface hardness before tapping.

No need for a carbide drill to drill a Mauser action, they are not that hard and if you break one off in the receiver then you have another problem that can be hard to overcome.
