Im working on an old Franchi 48AL 20 gauge. Need to put a saddle mount and red dot on it. Closest fit I could find is for an 1100/1187. The front pin works fine, but the rear pin is larger, therefore I need to fill and redrill the mount. I've thought about using plastic Steel or acraglass, but I am not sure if it will take the shock of firing in this situation. What would be a reliable option in this case? I cannot find a saddle mount that properly fits this application.

Thanks.
