Anyone installed this on a Marlin 30-30 without having to drill the stock? I really hate to bore my new gun stock. It has a screw location in the stock. Will the screw supplied fit this already built in hole?

My stock had a hole already drilled in it, and had a plastic plug in it. When I popped out the plug the hole that was there wasn't big enough for the supplied screw. So, I very carefully drilled the hole out the way the directions explained. As a precaution I put a little drop of PL adhesive in it. I'm never planning on taking that screw out and figured the PL would only strengthen the screw and hole. Hope this helps. MORE IMPORTANTLY....... Be careful with the Allen screw on the barrel end, that can strip out quite easily. Don't loosen and tighten it more than once or twice, and definately use some thread lock. Hope this helps.

Does the rear sight on your rifle have a pin through it so it can be flipped up and down? If so the it should but little advice. I put this on my number 4 I had to get a screw to put in the rear pin hole. Otherwise the mount moves to much.

I installed one on my Mossberg 715T a couple weeks ago. This exact one. It was such a snug fit, I heated it in the oven at 450 for 15 minutes, then I lightly tapped it on with a soft mallet. I only had to tap it about 5 times. It does have a cutout for the Ruger sight, but I just put in on downwards..I went ahead and snugged the allen screw, but it wasn't needed. Enjoy more Tacti-cool.

Scott - I too have not had to adjust the retention screw. I did mess with it a little and I did not notice a difference in effort required to draw, so I stopped messing with it. My experience is similar to Don's - out of the box it firmly holds my SR40C in place and a twist is required to draw.

You have to clamp the barrel, I belive the stock is to flimsy. I wrapped the barrel with cardboard and tightened down with a screwdriver, It looks really nice on a SR, you won't be disappointed.

again, you'd need a sling stud. I dry fitted it on my Mosin (no stud) and it doesn't match the contour of the stock. looks kind of awkward. also, I use it on an AR, so BIG difference in recoil between a 5.56x45 with a buffer tube, and a bolt action 7.62x54. I'd look for something different. (FYI- works great on the AR-15)

I have this installed on my Marlin 45/70 and 444 lever action rifles. They both were pre-drilled for scope mounts. The part has a lot of screw mounting holes to accomodate different receivers. Should ve mounted on a flat surface. If you're not pre-drilled a gunsmith can do that. It is working well for me.

I bought it for the same rifle... With a modification u can put it on that stock .. but when I tried to modify it it broke.. and had to use the barrel clamp that comes with it

I got this for my marlin model 60 tube fed and it works, just looks outta place and obviously looks like it doesn't belong, if you don't care about aesthetics then you'll be fine. another hitch is it can also hinder the sights if youre using the barrel iron sight and not a scope.

No. These require a picatinny rail mount. Adding the mount will in most cases require drilling of the stock for second bolt hole as well as purchase of the picatinny rail adapter and hardware that is sold separately.

It held fine on my buddy's Marlin. But you could always put a little dab of some thread locker on the screw threads as well.

Hi, I was able to use the stock screws but I couldn't use the lock washers the Rubber grips are thicker so the stock screws are just a little to short to use the washers. So far they haven't loosened while shooting so it seems OK.

The stock has to be drilled to accept the rear swivel. You must drill a 2 stage hole. First, drill a larger hole to accept the unthreaded portion of the shaft. It must be slightly larger than the shaft and slightly deeper than the unthreaded portion, , then you must drill a pilot hole, which will be smaller, in the center of the larger hole to accept the threaded portion of the shaft. The pilot hole should be the same size as the part of the shaft that the screw threads are attached to, so that just the thread portion is grabbing the wood. Then it can be screwed in using a punch in the hole, or a wrench on the flats. To correctly index the magazine cap stud, there are several methods, but my preferred technique is to use a drill bit that is just at the size of the stud itself, and counterbore the hole in the magazine cap a smidgen at a time, checking to see that the stud lines up correctly when torqued down. Then, when it does, loctite it and tighten it down.

I was asked to answer this question by amazon. The pin hole on the factory grips is lower than the Hogue grips. If I remember correctly, part of the grips includes an adapter to give proper alignment. This piece sometimes require minor filing, which I did with a pocket knife as the seam was a tad elevated. Took 10 minutes to install (including filing time and stock grip removal). Changes the feel of the gun, and I would put this on again! Best of luck!

I own a M24 Yugo. There was absolutely NO drilling required on my installation. An easy 5 minute task that anyone can do. You will need a Scout scope as the eye relief is a little ways out there. This is the only answer to scoping this rifle unless you are willing to remove your rear sight. I have also placed a removable cheek rest/riser on the stock to make the rifle more comfortable to shoot.

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.
