Borchardt forend

Back on my Borchardt build early this morning. It is terribly hot in Ga right now so do my shop work early. What I need to know is how far apart from the front of the action are the screw attachment points for the forend? Got wood coming next week from CPA. I have the dovetailed block for the lever spring but don't have a spring yet. Got to call BRC and order one. How far is the block and second screw from the action?

App 1.150 front of action to center of spring hole, not the notch for forend.
App  1.560 front of action to center of forend hole
Hope that helps

Better to drill and tap holes after you get the forend. Then you will know exactly where to put them. 

Every forestock I've ever gotten from CPA had the holes drilled off center. Always able to fudge it over and make it work.
