Thanks guys for the feedback and suggestions. I think I will first invetigate the availability of a Heli Coil of that small of a hole and even if there is anything in the original metric thread. I'm not sure I have enough metal to tap it out to 5/16" but will study the area. It has been suggested to thread an original trigger guard screw into the hole`and silver solder it in place and cut it off flush and redrill and tap it out. Thats all nice for a professional welder and machinist. Guess I was wishing for an easier way!
