I have a Belgian Mauser hunting rifle (.270 WIN) I need tapped for a folding leaf rear sight.  Factory OEM was some kind of Armstrong micro adjustable rear sight which I find MUCH harder to use than the OEM open rear /hooded front sight on my 1964 Browning Safari rifle in .375 H&H (and yes, I know… it’s NO SALT wood, I refinished it about twenty years ago with linseed/mineral oil/beeswax and tested it then).

Anyway, I moved to Hampshire, TN last May and this is a project I’ve put off for a while now, I went into King’s in Columbia and got nothing but stink eye, no verbal contact, no hello, nothing while I was looking at what was on the racks so they’re out. I guess the three guys working there didn’t want any part of my discretionary income.

Any references?

Thanks in advance.

I would consider shipping it to someone who does good work.  Or driving further if you have to

He's about 30 minutes north of Clarksville but worth the trip.

Do you want it done locally or do you want it done right?
I think one of the major problems with America today is not enough families sit down to a big plate of squirrels momma just fried up.

Done right, of course. I can even bring the other gun to show placement of the new sight. 1/2 hour north of Clarksville puts that at about 1 to 1-1/2 hours out.

I’ll give him a call.

Thank you.

I have had chokes put in thin walled shotgun barrels and threaded holes put in the top of receivers.  Excellent work.  Good dude.
