Did you just drill the stock for that?

Yeah, I like the rail as close to the magazine as possible for balance. Make sure you allow space for the action screw, and magazine manipulation. Draw a centerline on the stock, layout the rail, mark and drill the holes, put the T nuts in there and cover with epoxy. You can remove the rail and reinstall as needed once the epoxy is cured. One last thing is to make sure the screws you’re using for the rail aren’t too long and don’t accidentally make contact with the barrel.
