hey i have this SPS here an it has a sling, i like sling, i was thinking , can i drill a hole in the stock about 1 inch toward the butt from the front sling screw to attatch the bipod from time to time when needed??

i was thinkin of using some epoxy to just hold a nut in place an reenforce it pretty bulky?

thoughts?
 
I don't think I'd want the bipod attachment point between the sling swivels. Buy another swivel stud, attach it with a threaded nut between the existing studs. Put the bipod on the front stud when needed. Just my thoughts, not sure if I fully grasped what youre working towards though.

il take some photos tomorow and think about it some more, the problem is the bipod is cheap, an screws into the stock? its a fine thread, an i dont like it goin into the plastic, its ok on a 22 etc. i was tinkin of matching the thread with a nut , putting it near the swivel stud with the sling already attatched, this way i can screw in or off the bipod pretty quickly into its own little hole.
come further toward the trigger allows plenty clearance frmo barrel intereferance
 
When you find out what the thread is, then I would recommend a blind nut, sometimes called a 'T' nut. It goes in from behind and has small claws facing forward that are pulled into the wood when you tighten it the first time. Of course adding epoxy won't hurt. Try to get the type with metal particles in it. It looks grey when mixed but the two parts are white or black. Permatex (at auto parts stores) makes a good one.

copy mate , the stock is plastic one , rem sps, so i figured the epoxy job over load will be good, theres alot of space in the cavitys behind the stock before the barrel :)

will look into it an report back.
 
Depending on how 'handy' you are the plastic stock could work better. Get the right size 'T' nut and when you install it warm it up and embed the nut by melting it into the stock a little bit. I'm not suggesting a red hot ingot here, just warm enough to bed the nut. The fumes from this are probably toxic, but it's spring time there so you can work outside.
 
I believe melting a nut into the plastic is very close to disaster.

Make as large a washer as you can for the inside of the stock, screw the stud in good and snug and add epoxy inside over it all.
 
They make a double adapter that hooks to your original stud. If i was you i would just rail it and be done with studs completely

The machine screw threaded studs here are #10-32

But what bipod are you using? the bipods I have have attachments for your sling swivel built in - no second stud needed.

Ok.. This just looks to me lile your giving yourself problems for no reason... Just get a sling stud bipod with a sling attachment.. There like 50 bucks I don't understand why you need two attachment points
 
Your doing it all wrong, you need to upgrade to a McMillan stock, and then get an atlas bipod at minimum, probably upgrade your scope at the same time to a S&B while your at it...


Or just use the sling stud that comes on the bipod as per above..
