ritey o,
im getting a Pro bipod that will fit to a QD stud on the stock but theres one thing.
when i attach the stud does it need to come out of the other side of the stock? if im not clear i acctually mean does the thread of the stud need to come out of the stock or sitting inside the stock?
please let me know
regards tom

come there are people out there who must know
The thread of the stud needs to be fully into the stock.
It must not stick out through the stock so shorten it if it does.
DO NOT DRILL YOUR STOCK WITH THE ACTION IN THE STOCK.
(Sorry if you know, but reservoirs have been drilled before today)

thanks very much ray gun
The stud for the fore end is shorter so it doesn't touch the cylinder. You must take the action out of the stock when you drill, as you don't want to drill into the cylinder..!

The ox is slow, but the earth is patient.
shud i drill a hole all the way through with the action off the stock? in other words does the hole need to come out of the other side of the stock?
sorry about asking all these questions its just i dont want a gun blowing up in my face
How long is the thread on the stud? I've only fitted 1 before and it was about 10mm, so providing you haven't chosen a narrow part of the stock e.g. a bit of the stock that is too thin for the thread of the QD stud screw into without popping out the other side.
To fit just make a small hole in the stock with a very small drill bit, This is important, make sure the drill bit is considerably smaller in diameter to the thread on the stud, otherwise if you drill the hole too wide the stud wont screw in securely. Its best to just drill a small hole and assess if its going to accommodate the thread, then if it looks a bit tight/shallow open it up a bit but proceed with cation!
Also some Bipods need the Stud to be in a particular direction, if you screw the stud in with care you can get it facing in the direction you require
All the best,

my stock is roughly 13mm thick so i should be all right cheers for the advice (by the way its a logun solo)
