I have a MN, it has iron sights which I'm terrible at using, but the gun shoots true, something I'm reminded of whenever one of my friends use it.
I've given up on iron sights for the time being and want to put a scope on it, a real scope not a LER scope. I have the ATI kit.

And I know a number of welders who are willing to make the bent bolt more permanent.
I don't have a drill press at the moment and I get the feeling if I tried to install this kit with a hand drill I'd probably mess it up. What is a gunsmith likely to charge to saw off the bolt, then drill and tap the three holes that that are required for install.
