I want to drill and tap the underlug of my 8 3/8" 460 XVR to accept a sling swivel stud. Does anyone know how far into the lug the muzzle break screw extends? In other words how far back from the muzzle is it safe to drill the barrel lug?

I tried the Smith-Wesson forum. Nothing yet. Still looking. Does anyone know how to remove the compensator screw? I have no instructions on that.

I got adventurous and took it out! Simple tapped hole. Mystery solved!
