With my grandkids, kids and myself we have six of the older Marlins that use the grooved receiver and are not drilled for scope bases.

I would like to get them all drilled and tapped so I can use Weaver style rings. It makes scope changing much easier.

Looking at my 925 on which I have the bases it looks to be a straight forward job. I am considering doing it myself. I work cheap and hopefully I can save enough to pay for a jig and the other supplies.

I would appreciate it if you folks could lend me your experience on how to do this and what to buy for tools.

Thanks in advance,

Gary
