Gunsmith needed to drill and tap Ruger MkII in Ma

[Billy2]

Guys can you reccomend a good smith to drill and tap a Ruger MkII. I am located in the Metrowest Ma area but could travel. I really don't want to ship it. Would rather drop off and pick up in person.

Thanks

Bill

Drill and tap it for WHAT?

I have a Mk II and it came from the factory drilled and tapped for a scope rail.

Better yet, use the clamp style scope mount and keep the use of the factory sights.

Mine is an older one. I was looking to put a rail on the top so I could put an aimpoint micro on a quick release.

Mine is an older one.

Sure it's a Mk II?

I thought that the drilled/tapped holes became standard with the MkIII. Maybe some MkII's had them and others didn't.

My Mk II target model is circa 1995 and is not tapped for scope mount either. I have recently been thinking about doing the same(micro reddot). I thought I might try one of these no_gunsmith mounts or drill + tap it myself (i'm a machinist and can do it at work).

BSquare makes a clamp on scope base for the Ruger MKII.
I recently bought one and found that it is easy to install and quite rugged.

These guys will do it for 50-65 bucks. But the same day shipping will be as much if not more than the drilling.

This guy's a lot closer to you than LA and he's a good 'smith:

LaRocca in Worc. has been mentioned a few times here. He installed sights for me. In chatting with him, he seems vry knowledgable and comfortable working almost anything.

Yes, he's my "go to" gun smith and I'm pretty sure he would enjoy that job. He does great work and he's very reasonable price wise.

Dave Santurri in North Attleboro. He's done a bunch of stuff for me. If you call first he can tell you whether he can do it while you wait (401-726-1310)

Greg Derr at Derr Precision has done some excellent work on my Rugers and any other gun I have brought to him.
