I'm guessing it's that the new forum software got confused by your European timestamp and thought that you posted first! No, that can't be: It's later in Germany than in the USA, so your message would have a later time stamp. Or is the date wrong in your computer's operating system?Geologist said:
No nothing wrong with the time here - plus - it seems the forum software wouldn't use MY computers time/date stamp anyway. Also it seems today that the forums has been acting weird - that whole blocks of messages are posted an hour ahead of the current time so they stay on top of the "new posts" and my posts don't show unless you page down past these "time traveling posts" !
Again too weird

CPF time was an hour advance for the past couple of weeks. It's now been adjusted to the correct time so that may have screwed up the posts based on the time stamps.
back on track...
must say Surefire 6P was one of easiest bodies to bore out. simply wrap masking tape several layers thick.
clamp in lathe and bore. no reason someone could not do this in a large drill press or large drill motor.
not that much power is required, but a large chuck to hold bit would be needed.
I'm using a 18.25mm milling machine bit, but a std drill bit same size would work fine. there's lots of stepped down bits available to fit more common 1/2 in chucks.
if using std drill bit by hand held drill. start with slightly smaller bit and work up to final size.
