after searching all the local places, I decided to try my Local Home Dept.... Just about to bail and go over to Menards... and I find these...
Perfect size. inner diameter fits the action screws perfectly... I bought 3 as they were cheap.

Perfect size. inner diameter fits the action screws perfectly... I bought 3 as they were cheap. Only needed to cut down one for both action screws.... Was able to use my cordless drill to open up the wood ... used a Dremel to cut the pillars to size and finish with some hand filing. Used a cutting disc to cut grooves around them for the bedding epoxy. Should turn out perfect.

Been stressing doing the same for a magpull 10/22. One action mount threaded, worried the polimer is soft.
Did a lot of drilling in the past, had presses, jigs and guides and made some.
Done freehand as well.
Big differance was it was government shit I didn't pay for. Lol

The good thing, if you make a mistake, you can fill it in with Epoxy and once sanded and painted, looks fine.
The wood chipped a bit on the edge of one of the holes... the Epoxy filled it in no problem. I would expect drilling out polymer would be more forgiving...

A bit late to the party, but lamp rod works well too if it will fit your screw. Used it on my Boyds with a Savage MKII and it came out great. Has external threads to provide grip. You do have to cut to length.
