McMillan Xp-100 stock

[koja]

Picked up an older McMillan,it does not have a swivel stud, what is the best way/type, to install a stud for bipod? I scanned the area, that I would call a boss for the swivet stud,no metal.Seems this material is soft under the skin. thanks

Drill pilot hole , screw in threaded stud that looks like a wood screw with gorilla glue on it. Dampen area for the glue to work properly. Or go with fine threaded and lock nut on the inside. Good luck!

Looks like a HS Precision stock to me.
I would dremel circle area where the sling swivel stud goes, and the bed a aluminum insert through the bottom of the forend channel, then tap the aluminum for the stud

H-S Precision XP-100 forends have reputation for breaking when using a bipod, unless it has been reinforced.

You defiantly want to put a pillar in so it doesn’t rip out.

I wonder about the make,it was advertised as a LH McMillan silhouette stock on SP. Poking around the edges of aluminum bedding block I found that the material under the skin,is soft.I have some aluminum pillars for bedding 22lr actions,might jut do the trick,
Thanks Ernie and Chris !

Ernie has the best idea. Spend a little extra time and you won't have to worry about it .
