Has anyone added a sling swivel set to thier stock ? how was it done ? Please only people who actually attached a sling swivel to the buttstock.

Yes. My hunting partner and I did this to a Remington Composite Stock prior to installation on a Remington 742. It is not difficult but to do the job correctly you really need a drill press with a vice base to ensure the installation hole is drilled in the center of the crease on the lower side of the butt stock. I would NOT try and free hand this operation. If you DO NOT have a drill press with vise I would strongly urge you to employee the services of your local gunsmith. Hope this helps.

I have a Tipton gun vice and put the gun in it upside down. If butstock is not attached, any vice will do. I just drilled a hole with cordless drill and ran the stud screw in with small screwdriver to fit in swivel hole. Added super glue to threads for extra strength bond. Been on there a couple years now. Good luck.

Get a self tapping swivel screw, drill a small pilot hole in the very bottom edge of the stock and screw in the swivel screw. Before you do this remove the butt plate and verify there is enough material where you want the swivel to attach.

Need to buy the swivels and screw them into the stock. Need to pre drill the holes so the wood doesn't split.

I still have the original 2 point sling on the rifle with the bipod. It fits between the legs or to the side. I will probably change to a single point in the future.

A properly sized swivel (the model that is specific to the rifle's model and caliber) will not stress it, especially if you mount it closer to a supported end of the tube (the forend or the barrel end); I've never felt that the swivel mount would crush or pinch the tube while tightening it. It isn't supposed to slide around, and in fact when I mount, I apply a small amount of super glue (thick) after carefully degreasing the mount and tube, so that it stays put. Let it cure for a day or so. Use acetone to remove any leftover glue that may seep out from behind. The design of these particular swivels has worked very, very well for me, but I do admit that I am rather "easy" on mine when shouldered. I don't do African safaris or the like, and under those conditions, I have no idea. In my opinion, properly fitted and mounted, these are very rugged and would NOT damage the tube or easily come loose. My particular application has been with the Rossi 92, 357 and 44. These swivels coupled with the "Claw" sling are close to perfect.

I clamp mine onto a std rail. I believe there is a swivel mount option that I did not use. It's good for rail mount. Can't say more tho.

yes. Had to drill out the sling swivel to install but I use a single point sling so it wasn't a big deal. Mounted a streamlight 69260 on it (another great product). Very solid base, glad I installed it.

Josh, I would be concerned about the portion of the stock at the top rear. It looks like possibly a sling attachment. the recoil pad fits snugly around the end of the stock and that may force the fit.

I installed a tactical stock on my mini 14. This stock had sling mounts to mount the bi pod to it. It takes a little time to mount it, but well worth it. Excellent adjustment on height (9 to 13 inches). I am very satisfied with this product!

Yes I did have to remove the sling swivel. However it has a sling attachment on either side of the rail. Hope that helps you.

Negative. Stock does not interfere with mount. The potion that covers the barrel may. I actually bought this mount system and thought it was gargbage. Did not align properly with stripper clip guide on reciever. I suggest getting the light-weight aluminum one. The mount itself has to be "tapped" into place.

Jeremiah, your Harris bipod should attach to the front swivel post on your rifle's stock and in turn the sling will attach to the mount built into the bipod

The rear sight takes fitting. Take your time! I used knife sharpening stones, take a little off the bottom only, try to install and repeat. You want them to be a tight fit. For the front sight there is a tiny screw compared with stock, Use tweezers to position the screw in the slide and use finger to push firmly into hole. Now you can thread a couple of turns using the sight itself. After simply use a 5mm nut driver and blue locktite to tighten. Done!

I didn't get a swivel. I would ask the manufacturer if it's optional. CDM Gear email: sales@cdmgear.com

no mine does not swivel, it tightens up against the stock securely, works well with my .50 cal. Hope this helps you out, Al

Did you install the rear sight? If so, how did everything turn out? Do the front and rear sights line up and provide accuracy? I have the 590A1 and am looking forward having this kit installed. thx for the feedback.

My quick attachment would not fit this stock. It kept slipping out. When I took it to the range after every shot the stock collapsed. I would not recommend the stock. They offered to replace it but my time was already wasted. Hope this was helpful.

The stock that I ordered came with a mounting bolt and fit just fine. I haven't had any problems with it at all.
