This is sort of a product awareness but it is a modification tool so I thought it belonged here. For some reason if someone still needs a really long drill bit to drill out the ARs in their recon or something McMaster sells them 2854A11. Just thought it was worth putting out there, even though they are really expensive at about $15 US apiece.

If you're only using it to drill out AR's harbor freight sells a pack of three 2 or 3 foot long drill bits. Not properly heat treated or hardened, but what can you do, it's harbor freight. If you're just drilling through plastic though, they're probably fine. Plus no shipping. So instead of $25 including McMaster's outrageous shipping, spend $2 in gas, go to harbor freight, and ask for the long drill bits.

Good idea, there's no Harbor Freight in Canada so I never thought of that. I personally don't need one but I am hoping this thread would help someone that did.
