Must admit I'm used to the magazine system now and don't give it a second thought.Originally Posted by Wilderbeest
The magazines seem to be going in and out , with much greater ease , the more I use them .
I drilled the stock and fitted sling studs, as the 'stock fixing socket cap' which can be replaced by a stud, definitely does not have enough
thread in the receiving, section , to support the use of a sling. (In my opinion, as a mechanical engineer).
There is a section of the stock 25mm (1 inch) 'towards the barrel' end , which is certainly thick enough to drill and insert
sling mounts.
The rifle continues to impress.
At first I found it a little awkward but it soon becomes second nature and as you mention they seem to slot in and out easier after use.
Mine already had some nice silver studs fitted front and rear by the previous owner.
Look pretty good contrasted with the black tactical stock etc I only really use the front stud for a bipod as I have no real need for a sling.
The front stud is a replacement for the original fixing not sure who makes it and I've not taken it out to check its length etc but it seems plenty secure to me especialy for bipod use.
I've never noticed it altering the POI either with or without the bipod on as there are rumours that replacement bolts with the QD stud on the HW100 & HW110 using a bipod can put strange pressures on the barrel clamp assembly which in turn could potentially alter POI.
I've also found that Acupell FT pellets are really good through it and so far are my tightest groups.
