Jig to DIY install Mesa receiver rail on 870

[G.Mitchell]

I’m looking to install Mesa receiver rails on two of my 870 shotguns.

I got a price from a local gunsmith and it’s more than I can afford to spend. I’m confident I can do the work myself with a good jig to ensure centering and good alignment of the hole and threading.

Can anyone recommend a good jig? Alternatively is anyone here in the Grande Prairie AB area?

Thanks

Geoffrey

Can't recommend a jig, but I will advise to look online for recommended placement front and back aswell. For basic rails it's not too pertinent but if you were to change it later to a full length top rail like Mesa offers, it'll affect where you drill.
