Question on Manners stock and sling studs

[foxC]

I ordered a manners MCS-T stock back in April. I optioned it with an Atlas front rail and one rear stud for an Atlas bipod and monopod that I use. While at the range yesterday I tried out a .308 with a Tactical Intervention M-24 sling and am thinking I might want to add this to my rifle. I don't have much experience using a sling before and felt comfortable with it.

Thing is I am not sure what type of sling studs to add or even if it is too late to get them installed. Manners offers sling studs wherever I request and also in flush cup or QD. I shoot right handed and am not sure if I should have them located on the bottom or flush cup on the side or even which side. The fellow whose gun I tried said he thought the atlas rail accepts a QD but he was not sure.

I plan to call Monday and see about this but wanted to ask here first. What do you guys use or suggest?

2 lush cups on the left side is what I would recommend, works great for positional shooting and for carry. The Atlas has a QD spigot in the rear, I always prefer a side attach point for the sling.

they will add it to the build as long as it hasn't reached finishing. I just went through this with them. get the non rotating qd. the atlas rail will accept a qd swivel. best of luck

Atlas rail (at least BT15)l do have QD flush cup.
So, maybe, you already have points to attach sling to.

Anyway - call them. If stock still in production it's not so hard to add flushcups in case of Manners.

Thanx for the replies. I will call tomorrow and see about adding two flush cups on the side.

Like mentioned above make sure you get the NON-rotating flush cups installed. Makes a world of difference.

Actually, they will do some add-ons even after the stock is delivered.

You ship the stock back and they do the add-on and ship it back.

For the adjustable length of pull, it is the same price if ordered with the build or later.

I called them yesterday, its in production and in two weeks it should be ready. That's pretty much right on schedule from what I was told when I placed the order.

No problem adding two flush cups on the left side. Now I need to look for that sling.
