Been awhile since I have done it, but the original taper pin holes can be drilled and tapped for at least a #8 screw(and seems like I may have went up to #10) all the way through including the barrel. From there you can put in 4 cap screws of lengths just short of meeting each other and stake them or 2 caps screws or set screws long enough to pass through.
That originated off of a CMP shooter page that had the gas port hole between the sling swivel ears and all 4 taper pin holes drilled and tapped(either #6 or #8....I went up a size on the overkill above).
The swivel ear set screw was used to zero for windage with the rear sight set to center and then the other 4 set screws were snugged in.
I had the set screw only set up for several years of packing around the woods, tossed in the truck seat, or behind the seat and never had it move, but finally ocd got me and I did the threaded through version.
