I, too, would send it to SAW or ADCO.
This can be a DIY project, but there a lot of ways for it to go wrong.
any Machinist worthy of the name can do it.
The devil danced as he went down
In the hail of arrows comin'
Out on the wild Montana ground,
Custer died a-runnin'.

scottryan,
I halfway think you are just having fun with this thread, but on the off chance you aren't, here is a quick picture.
The flattened little section was there when I got it, the ding in the side next to the hole is probably from me. I drilled it out while on break from teaching a carbine course. It was something I had been meaning to do, and ran out to the shop while the guys were on lunch. I didn't bother anodizing where it was drilled out, and the hole is a smidge larger than the standard hole. I was in a hurry, and certainly could have done a better/ prettier job, but I've got no regrets in how it turned out.
packinheavy- If you are still active duty, guard, or reserve, talk to your CATM guys if you are reluctant to do it yourself.

Drilling a long aspect ratio hole precisely with a hand drill is not something that can be done accurately.
You either did this on a drill press or mill or didn't drill the hole its full length and didn't use a full length spring.
ETA: I see you didn't use a full length spring as you picture does not show a flat ground spring on the exposed end.
