It might be hard to find the right size drill but depending on the tolerance you are looking for i would drill a test piece in the same thickness of steel/aluminum you're drilling into to see what diameter your bit actually drills to. It might be better to find a machinist friend with an adjustable reamer depending on the size and location of the hole.Just grab your drill and be the amateur gunsmith
I have a small job on my AR upper receiver (need to make a hole slightly larger). Where do I find someone in the PDX area who can do that?
Why do you need for a hole in your AR upper to be bigger???
.
I remember when I was an immature gunsmith...
Oh wait amateur, anyhow what hole are you needing done?

Looking for an amateur gunsmith?
Have you tried the Amateur Gunsmith Locater Resource Service? It's used by almost everyone at least once.
It's called a mirror*
*It also does referrals for plumbing, electrical, construction, and auto repairs,
all usually with the same mixed results.
Here's a thought. God-forbid you should ever have to use that for its intended purpose. What are you going to tell the jury? 'Cause you know any prosecutor who hears (or reads) that you sought out an amateur to modify your deadly weapon, is definitely going to put you on trial.
+1= you can find a machinist.
