Hey so im looking to do some pinning, mostly for when i paint, as of now im a heretic and prime on sprue. im looking to get away with that, and do some assembly before i prime, but i run into the problem of how to hold it/ place it to get it all primed and let it dry.

So i want to do some pinning, only issue is, what size will i need?

What size bit will let me pin with a paperclip

Also, what size will get me bolter barrels

Paperclips vary, but usually 1mm

For barrels, I do 1.2mm in the front, 1mm for the breaks
