Have been told that the new nova,s have been drilled and tapped at the factory????have looked and can not see any sign of these. gun was purchased in march.

Not all are tapped and drilled.

sonyman is correct, but I wonder if you're checking for plugs?

The drilled and tapped holes are fitted with hard plastic plugs to protect the threads. Typically they can be pushed out from the inside of the receiver.

 

Any sign of anything like that?

I took the gun apart,all I see inside the receiver is a peice of metal on the roof of the receiver, no plugs that I can see,are they under this metal,

[sonyman74]

You should see them from the outside top of the receiver.

This is explained in the 2007 online catalog, and is not real easy to find or understad info kinda like owners manuals. Basically the NOVA Turkey and Slug Steady Griped models are tapped and drilled along with the Super Novas Comfortech Slug models are also! all others are not. The 04 catalog reflects same info! basically standard novas, if it has a standard stock it is not tapped and drilled unless it was done after purchase! If they have a comfortgrip or steady grip stock they are T&D for scopes.
