Title: Where in central North Carolina to get 870 drill & tapped?
Post by: Uncle Tom on February 16, 2021, 04:06:39 PM
Got a 870 that needs to be drill & tapped for a Burris Fastfire III sight....live near Dunn, N.C  One gunsmith quoted like over $100 for first hole then less for additional....seems awful high. Got the Burris 336 mount so only 2 holes to drill. Need some help guys. Thanks.

You can do a rib mount if you cant find a gun Smith . I think they are $50 . Not drilling required.

 I was in your shoes. Couldn't find a smith to do it that I felt I wasn't getting ripped off. You can do it yourself not hard just need drill press, level, vise and tap. Take your time. 870 has plenty of
metal in receiver. Plenty of videos on you tube.
