Folks: I have wasted the money trying a
'no gunsmith' scope mount for an Ishapore
2A No1 MkIII. Now I am wondering how a
gunsmith would attach a sturdy and straight
scope mount. Are there 'blanks' available
such that the smith just has to drill and
tap the receiver? Or does the smith have to
fabricate the mount from scratch? Any idea
who could do this in the Austin TX area?
Any idea of ballpark price?

Thanks, DanM
