Gents:
I have an old marlin 55 bolt action 12 gauge that my grandfather left me. I don't really have much use for it as a bird gun, but it would make a passable slug gun. I wouldn't mind doing a side mount or cantilever mount for a low powered optic.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop to drill and tap the barrel or receiver? Also to possibly help with recommendations on which mounting system would suit me best?
I know its sort of a small job, and I feel like some smiths might not have the time to deal with some schmuck with a $50 gun from the 70's.
Thanks!
