I hope some of you guys can help an old Fudd out. I'm putting together a rimfire for casual shooting with an eye to trying some Practical Rimfire later (if my shooting improves). Never used a chassis, bipod or such before - so it's been mostly new to me.
I'm starting out with a T1x in a KRB Bravo, with a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56. Everything's been fine, and I'm pleased with the accuracy. But now I'm trying to upgrade from a cheap Harris-clone bipod to an Atlas, and running into an issue figuring out how to attach the L2 polymer rail that came with my Bravo.
The instructions show it just screwing on, but the holes aren't threaded - nothing to grab on to. Looking at the sling swivel it has a little metal plate or estucheon on the back for the screw to bite into. Am I supposed to have 2 of those for the L2 rail to attach to? I don't remember any of those coming with the chassis. Do I need to remove those 6 large torx screws to take the forend off in order to attach my rail? Just trying to do some research before I start tearing it apart and possibly mucking things up.
I've tried searching on the web, but I think it's such a basic question that no one has put out any info (youtube or otherwise) that I have been able to find. So far, I think either there must be more of those plates in the forearm (perhaps visible once I remove it) or else I'm missing parts for my install.
Any suggestions from those familiar with KRG Bravos? Also, would it be recommended to order an aluminum L2 to replace the polymer one for attaching an Atlas Bipod with the picatinny quick release to?
Thanks!
Brad
