.618 diameter

.395 depth

original IMBEL plastic stock

BTW, the question you should also have asked is: "How far beneath hole for the recoil spring tube should the locking body recess be located?"

.128 (from edge-to-edge of the holes)

Original Izzy LB stock has same dimensions, except depth is a few thou deeper.

Thanks guys,thats exactly what I was needing,I have two Ironwood Walnut stocks that I guess they forgot to drill for the locking lug recess hole,I have a stock ferrule that I can use as a guide as far as location of the hole goes,but I was just wanting to know the basic diameter and the depth,and I also know that the hole is flat bottomed,so I plan on using my Forstner drill bits to drill the locking latch recess hole into my stocks.Thanks Again
