Ok, i get my RT today, ill be installing it later tonight.

However i noticed i have to punch out a hole on the side of my reciever. it seems to be clearly marked, but what would be the best way to knock it out, i want to install it for saturday but between now and then i dont have access to something like a punch press or something, what would be the best ghetto way to knock it out?

With a small hammer and a drift punch or a center punch; an old broken drill bit or even a small chisel.

It is offset and lightly grooved along its parimeter. All you have to do is cleanly transfer the impact from the hammer to the knock-out section and it will break out causing no damage to the rest of the grip.

Wear safety goggles!!!
