anyone recommend a good picatinny rail kit to replace the swivel stud?
i already have an atlas bipod setup for a rail so i figure this would be the easier part to change.
i dont mind drilling for the rear hole in the stock but i would imagine i would need something that comes with a machine screw to replace the swivel stud with and a coarse wood style screw for the pilot hole that i will have to drill in the rear
Sure, easy day.
Seekins or Badger Ordance make a decent pic rail for bipod etc.
Note: Machine screw will not hold up to typical rigors & loads you will encounter in field. You will need to mount it using a “T Nut” (blind nut) to do it right for any real load span.
