Title: Stock drilling for sling stud
Post by: Gudge on December 22, 2020, 09:13:18 PM
I have a near perfect profile Skelton stock, took me a long time to find it. No cutouts or mods in any way and lovely grain.  I just cannot get myself to drill it for a rear sling mount, is there and other way to attach the rear sling?  Thanks

This will change the Length of Pull( Stock Length)
Add a spacer plate between the Butt-Pad and stock.
Thick enough to accomodate the  sling Stud!

Good Luck,
Stuart

Have a look here. Jon will also make them with a adjustable butt pad machined to match.

Yes it's on the list for 2021 along with the 7 shot mag for both the Rapid and SLR.
