a leather punch is for belts and the holes are perpetually way too small.
How do you guys chance on precisely the correct diameter for Model F barrels?
The barrels are 1/2" diameter (13mm) but the "buttresses" on the AT & 122 make the 5/8" (16mm) a better choice.
Alternatively, you could just snip a little bite out where the buttress comes through.
For the XT style barrels, the stand-off is a little post.
With the art foam like I use, you could probably just push the barrels in and the foam would deform itself around the alignment tabs. With harder or tougher materials, it might not work as well.

- Abraham Lincoln, July 4, 1858
