Need advice on drilling PVC tube for E-11 build

[stormtrooperguy[501st]]

another recommendation for the drill press. i picked up a cheap ryobi benchtop one for $99 to drill out the barrel for a pvc mg-34 i threw together a few years back. i've since replaced it with a free standing delta one that weighs about 200 pounds. but, it makes life sooooo much easier. you can clamp some guides down to make sure the pipe remains in the same place as you go, and the holes are always perfectly straight.

I use a Uni-Bit.

All great tips, guys.

I've found my own personal solution with the new tools but all the different techniques make for a good informative thread.

I knew 16 years detail fitting for the aircraft /military Radar industry would come in handy one day.

 

Aaah, another RADAR brother! Semper Fi.

Well, I got my blaster build completed. It's far from perfect but good enough for a first attempt and I've got a blaster for my ESB outfit again at last.

I learned a lot along the way and enjoyed the build. The next one will be better ...
