I had a CAA bipod mounted on the pic rail on the forend but also had been using it on one of my other stocks so decided to mount the side rail ones on this stock. I use this style on my AR and it works real well. I located where I wanted the rails to be and drilled a series of holes for the epoxy to bond to and used Loctite 2-part builders epoxy. I over filled and filed the epoxy smooth.

I finished the filing and mounted the rails with socket head capscrews and dremeled the inside of the stock and epoxied square nuts to it and removed excess screw threads. I made up a new paracord sling last night (65+'). I took it out today and ran 10 mags through it on bipod and it is rock solid. Now on the paint !
