Fitting Jackal Mag?

[karbonk]

How does one go about fitting a Jackal Dummy Mag? I see the mag has 2x screw thread holes but cant see how you get to them fixing to Stock. Any ideas?

Take stock off action, drill two holes (right size and in the right place where you want the mag to go), and mount mag with screw heads inside the stock. Reunite with action, and Bob is yer cross-dressing aunty.

Thanks Gareth I will take it apart today I try and fit.

On another note, I have a Harris style Bipod to fit too, but under the barrel there is a slot in the plastic. Any idea how to fit one as the fixings would normally fit to the underneath?

Sounds like you found one of those very scarce to find Dummy Mags ! If fitting to a Jackal action that never had one fitted - only a few variants ever had them fitted ... as prev poster suggests , line up and mark before drilling .The original used self tapping screws but if really nimble some no.8 size nut and bolts could be used .
If fitting a bipod , make use of the hollow stock 'slots' that you note - no need to drill anything , and use a hollow stock bolt as supplied with some Swivel Sets as standard ( a larger washer will help spread the load better ).
Use the long slot and before tightening all up slide the bolt back and forth a bit with whatever bipod base fitted on to get a perfect fit . I had a Ramsbottoms unit which was superb .

Brilliant thanks for that. I did think of just using the slot and putting something the other side to hold it but wasnt sure if there was another way that was better & done before. Cheers again.
