I am considering drilling and tapping a Mauser action I have had set aside for years (well, its still on a shotout barrel that won't even shoot cast well). Time for some type of build on it. I was looking for another action but that has not panned-out. Does any of our members offer this service? I would try it myself but I think I had better rely on someone that does it professionally.:redneck:

Any gunsmith with a drill jig should be able to do the job, figure $10-15 per hole. If you ship it off the job could end up being close to $100.

Too bad Midway no longer carries the wheeler drill jigs http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/603260/wheeler-engineering-scope-mount-receiver-drill-and-tap-fixture-with-31-drill-and-6-48-tap it basically pays for itself in one job.
