Advice on Winchester SX2 barrel

[KyScott]

Ok Fellas here's the deal. I took a Winchester SX2 that I recently picked up on a trade to have the receiver drilled and tapped for a rail by a Gun Smith and was told that the receiver was aluminum and was to thin to drill for a rail? I don't want to use a saddle or mount something to the vent rib. So that leads me to a couple questions hoping somebody here might know. Thanks ahead for any advice.

1. If I can find a rifled cantilever barrel can the riflings be removed and threads added for choke?

or

2. Is there somebody that can remove the vent rib on my barrel and add a cantilever?

What kind of optic are you looking to put on it?

What kind of optic are you looking to put on it?

Probably the Holosun HE510C-GR Elite

I deleted a couple for you.

l recommend the Burris FF3 https://www.burrisoptics.com/sights/fas ... fastfire-3 go to this page and if you want to buy the Burris type in promo code GN20 for 20% off of msrp

please check it out and also check out the EGW red dot base.( egwguns.com ) This base only needs 2 holes drilled in your receiver to mount and is a very sturdy base. coupled with the Burris FF3 youll have the cats meow set up and be ready to kill some gobblers cheaper than buying just the Holosun.

I have seen SX's that have been tapped and there should be no problem

find another gun smith!

Thanks Hoobilly. I have a couple of the EGW rails on 2 model 70’s. Didn’t think about looking to see what they had for red dots. I know the FF3 is nice just wanting to try something different. Lol

and theres no problem with trying something different. if someone back in the day didnt try the 336 marlin base and a Burris FF1 we wouldnt be where its at today

and from my memory MKW is the first person I know of that used a red dot on a turkey gun.
