Tony,
It can be done, I did it on mine, you need to put the front mount in the wood just back from the front, there is a lot of bottle clearance. I needed to grind the bolt a bit, before fitting the nut, to get it to fit. I loctited mine, that was about a year ago, no problems. I have used a harris bipod on this mount which in my case is a QD swivel. I hope this helps
Take care, Voldy
