I use a 3/16 inch reamer so that the hole is round and I use 3/16 inch stainless rod to make my piviot pin with.

One of the major problems with liner locks is that the lock slips or wedges. A tight pivot makes a lot of these problems go away along with a for lock fit. I would say no more than .0005 slop.
