McMillan flush fit rails and stock integrity

[Guns&WhiteWater]

I’m having an A5 built and am leaning towards having a rail installed into the forend that would enable the use of MLok bolt on picatinny and RRS rails. The rail would be inlet flush, so material would have to be removed from the stock. Has anyone had any issues doing this? Should I be concerned with a loss of stock integrity? The rail I’m wanting to use is the RSR Rail by Henderson Precision. The stock is for a 308.

I had an Ingenuity Gun Works rail inlet into my A5 on my Vudoo 22LR and have never experienced any issues with stock integrity. May not answer your question but it’s data.

Tac-Ops puts an Anschutz rail on virtually every McMillan stock they use. No issues.

Looks like a slow less convenient system can an ingenuity gunworks rail

Not familiar with the ingenuity Gun works rail but this one works perfect for me. I can easily switch between my Precision Underground front bag and my RRS Anvil without moving anything. I’m actually sitting in my deer stand as we speak and have my front bag attached. Works great on a shooting rail. I don’t compete I just hunt with this rifle and could not be please more with the rail Travis inlayed.

Thanks for the replies guys. That’s a slick setup Painless. My 308 will be used in a similar fashion, perhaps more shooting than hunting. I wanted flexibility and the ability to swap accessories with my chassis competition rifle. I’ve ordered the RSR rail and MCMillan is going to install it. Then it’s off to Joe Ducos for the Loggerhead installation. I’m really looking forward to this A5, as I am going for the classic old-school feel with this 308, complete with a S&B 5-25 P4f.
