who ever is doing it should know jack m8. I do them at 43mm for block which allows for the 1mm magazine blip this blip should also be 10.10 mm diameter, diameter of barrel 15.77mm,I normally do them at 15.82mm for a more snug fit.then there is the port position this needs to be 5.4mm from centre of port to barrel shoulder excluding magazine blip,same for location hole.also needs a slight chamfer at the breach bore entrance.

For a tight barrel fit to the Receiver...
Go a couple of Thou oversize... Then Lap to fit that Receiver!!
This is another one of those dimensions that varies between Receivers!!!!!
