How do you mount side-sling swivels on USGI synth. M14 stock?

[tritium]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for information regarding the mounting of side sling swivels on the USGI synth stock for the M14. I am looking for a rear swivel thaqt mounts above the trigger group and can be used for a single point sling but I will also be installing a forward swivel in order to use a 2 or 3 point sling as well.

Any info you could provide on the following would be appreciated:

1) What kind of swivel is used (or is available)?

2) How does it mount to the stock? I know it's screwed in but what kind of screws? Do they protrude into the body of the synthetic stock...if so, how is that possible without contacting the receiver or the trigger group housing?

3) What suggestions would you have?

Thanks guys!

CQB Solutions or Specter Gear makes a good sling for the M14 if you need to side mount.

I used Pachmayer flush mount swivels on the side of mine. I just drilled proper size hole, filled it with epoxy, screwed in flush mount swivels before the epoxy set, let it set for 24 hours before use. They work great.

I just use USGI or Norinco swivels and some machine screws with nuts.
I have a couple sets of M305 upper sling swivels with nuts,screws and washers for $6 /set

Hey Mike,
Would you be willing to part with 2 sets of swivels, screws etc?

Go look at ebay item #7224020618, then consider Marstar part #GAR-054 Buttstock Swivel @$9.00.

The two parts look the same to me, and you can see how someone else solved a similar problem.
