Fieldsports 155 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have been waiting a couple of days for these sling mounts to arrive from an ebay seller. Here is the listing where I got them from he has 100% feedback The ones I got are where you replace the front stock bolt with a Bipod / Sling mount and the rear stud that is basically a large self tapper that needs a pilot hole drilled in the rear of the stock to be able to screw it in with no damage. AT LAST I have my rifle strap fitted ! The rear stud I measured the centre where I was fitting it and began with a piece of tape "in case i slipped with the drill" Put a small 1.5 mm pilot hole in and worked slowly up to a 3.5 keeping the right angle to the stock at all times. Then simply screw the stud in slowly until it is flush and true to the stock. Here is the front replacement stud ( No drilling required on this one ) Here is the rear stud Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Was thinking about these myself, but wasn't sure because of the pressure on the barrel/band, so i got some regular ones fitted. Quote Link to post

They are Ok but as long as you do not try and overtighten the front sling / bipod mount as they reckon it makes the mag cycle like a piece of turd. The rear one will go no where...it is long enough to be continued... But once it is in thats it. ( I was more scared of that one ) as I seen some right states that people have had done after having the rear stock drilled. I am pleased but ........I know I cant....BUT I think the front one that replaces the stock bolt should be about 2-3 threads longer ( I would like to dip it in locktight "threadlock" ) but I cant as it is a stock bolt now. It is OK do not get me wrong just I can be a right fa*ny at times and maybe I think to much into things. Thanks Steve Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 No pal your better to be cautious about some things. but you should be ok. not heard any horror stories about them. so they will probably be fine. Quote Link to post
