[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 242997, member: 8"] It is moderately more complicated. The sling swivel studs come in two sizes for slings so you need to know which size sling you have. Secondly they come in different lenghts. So what I do is take out the one that is installed and take it to the store with me and buy one that is that length or a little longer. Take the barreled action out of the stock Decide where you want to install it and drill the hole. Then counter sink that hole and put the nut in. With a synthetic stock you may not be able to countersink so you have to look at that carefully. If you can't counter sink that is allright every thing will work out. Screw in the stud and drop the barreled action in and see if there is any clearance problem. If there is a clearance problem remove everything and put the nut on the stud and grind off some of the threads. Unscrew the nut to realign the thread and reinstall. Drop in the action and check for clearance again. Now I take the barreled action out and get some release agent such as Johnsons Paste wax and goo up the stud threads real good. Screw the stud back into the nut. Make sure the stud holes are properly aligned for the sling and use some epoxy or JB Quick and glue the nut down real well so it does not turn. If you did not couontersink then scuff up the area to ensure the epoxy will adhere. After the epoxy has set up you can remove the stud just to make sure everything is OK. Drop the action back in and tighten it up. Go get the vacumm cleaner and clean up the mess in the living room before your wife sees it. [/QUOTE]
