Just bought a Whiskey-3 and need a bolt relief milled on the left side of the chassis. The major gunsmith shop around quoted 3 weeks so I'm trying to find alternatives. I'm trying some local machine shops as well but no luck.

I'm not 5-axis Dremel certified or I'd give it a go.
 
Not hard to do yourself. Could do it with a dremel or round file. Mirror what is already there. Work slow and you will be fine.

Did this for my T1X mdt XRS. Had to do clearance for the safety as well. I used a foredom (higher horse shaft drive).
