Spooks Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I purchased a SuperNova MAX4 in the spring for turkey hunting. I'd really like to be able to put a small red dot sight on it, but to my very novice eye, it's looking like the receiver is not tapped and drilled from the factory. I've seen a number of other forum posts about people doing similar things, have having to push out the plugs in the receiver from the under side. Is it possible that the receiver has the plugs in it, but they are hidden underneath the camo coating? Figured I'd see if anybody knew the answer before I took the trigger assembly out and started poking around. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Fab Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 My SN Realtree APG wasn't drilled and tapped either. I know they do it on the tactical models ( mine is) but it looks like they don't do it on the field models. I was bummed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooks Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I took out the trigger assembly after reading your reply and found that there were definitely no plugs that could be pushed out from the under side. Seems my only option at this point is to either go with the saddle mount (which I really don't want to bother with) or find a gunsmith to drill some holes.

I think the gunsmith route is the way to go. They'll have the right stuff to do the mod and make sure everything is lined up properly. Just get whatever rail you want to mount and let them get after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsdorf Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I agree with KB, I'd go to the gunsmith route as the most likely way to get a good result, but be sure to ask the smith if he has done this before. Never can be too careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
