[turbobrick]

Can I get pics of the SRS rail on your Stocky’s?

Do these bother you when you have the gun slung over your shoulder? Especially the short attachments?

No, hasn’t been an issue for me.

I’m looking at doing the same thing with a SRS mini on a Stockys Howa mini carbon fiber stock. Was there any trick to drilling the holes in the stock? Worried about messing up the carbon fiber.

I just drilled slow with light pressure and had no problem.

@turbobrick - I'm looking at doing something similar to the 3rd rifle in your picture, where the picatinny rail 1st screw would replace the sling stud, and then the rest would need to be drilled. Did you just screw into the CF, or drill and thru-bolt them into the barrel channel

These came with the Salmon River rail I put on another rifle. I’d use them, or something similar for a thru-bolt application

I used t-nuts, SRS included them with the rail IIRC.

I found a bit of epoxy inside the stock helps to reinforce the tee nuts

@atmat did you end up cutting into the stock and embedding the arca rail?

Ive talked to someone at stockys and they said no problem cutting into the stock, im going to do my vg2 w a henderson rail.

Nah, I didn’t. I ended up hating the way it felt to hand carry and just learned to shoot off trekking poles instead of a tripod.

I feel you there, its definitely not the most comfortable, the stability for long shots off the tripod is worth it for me though
