would be happy to but not sure how. I have feeler gauges and a micrometer but not anything that would appear helpful to measure a hole

I have a 120pc or so drill bit set that I got from Harbor freight. I'll just find the biggest one that fits through a hole and then use my calipers to measure the diameter. So I take it that they are drilled?

Does anybody know who threaded the barrels on the Exiter marked 553s? Did the come in country threaded or did sig USA do it? I am having terrible poa poi shift with a surefire can that works well on other rifles.

Factory threaded in Switzerland.

Are the 20rd magazines that CDNN is selling real deal factory magazines? $30 each seems too good to be true.

What's the least expensive source for factory 30rd magazines?

Yes they are real. I am not aware of anyone making aftermarket magazines for the SIG 55x series. $30 is about the going rate on 20 round mags now. The 30s are very difficult to find and tend to bring 100+. I suppose SAN mostly makes 20s as that is what the Swiss military prefers.
