Hi, I need some advise please .
I purchased some pins and collars from the bay. The rods are advertised as 1.5mm thickness .
Tried today to pin some new scales. The rods don't fit the pre drilled holes in the scales because they are too thick.
A 1.5mm drill bit fits the holes fine but not the rods I bought .I've ordered a 1.6mm drill bit to widen the holes in the scales and started looking online for pinning rods.
I have found a place advertising rods at 1/16th thickness which converts to 1.5875mm so that explains why the rods I purchased are thicker than 1.5mm, I think.
Before ordering these new rods they are sold as "260 Brass Alloy" and "360 Brass Alloy" . Which ones should I go for? The Nickel is 752 nickel also.
Many thanks..
