The Dremel for slotting works but the screws are so bloody small even the narrowest Dremel wheel is almost too large. If I have to make a screw this small having the taps like you suggest is the only practical way to do it. For tapping aluminum I have been known to cut threads on a steel rod, and use it to make a crude tap. Works for aluminum. Sure wouldn't want to try it tap steel.
Brent now you're shooting an '03? You're starting to get all 20th Century on us. I soon expect to see you shooting a Black rifle.
