russ91 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Apply masking tape around the area to be drilled – it stops the drill bit ‘skating’ and marking the wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Mark the drill point with a pencil and if you can make a indent with a centre punch to help the drill get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Once you’ve determined the correct size of the drill bit to use, always practice on a piece of scrap wood first!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Make shore you drill at a 90 degrees. It helps if you bore a smaller diameter pilot hole first. You may also need to countersink this hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Carefully screw the stud into the stock use a old drill bit to assist this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 If the stud dose not fit flush file a the area flat with a needle file (don’t over do this tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) If done correctly the stud should look like this Pleas note if you do this wrong I will not take any responsibility Edited March 12, 2008 by russ91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landy Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Very good explanation with nice pics. Would add to coat the screw with wax or some other non staining lubricant, especially in hard woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 scared to do mine myself on the precharged incase i go to deep and burst the co2 chamber also void the garantee,think i will take it to where i bought it and take the bipod with me. Think i'd be inclined to remove the stock first on a pcp then no need to worry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
