Rem 40x - Add a Rail Macmillan A5

[jtbiv01]

Bought a very nice custom 40x in Macmillan A5 stock. I prefer an atlas bipod over bench rest, so I need to add a locating rail. Stock has a flush cup and swivel stud on 3” spacing. Any recommendations to add a rail using existing holes? I’d prefer not to drill...

Thanks in advance!

The McMillan rail I added to my Greyboe Renegade was a 3" spacing between the studs on the forearm so you could go that route but would most likely need to add a t-nut were the swivel cup is located.
Another option is find a shorter rail so it stops just in front of the flush cup and add a t-nut so the flush cup is still usefull.

Thanks for the quick reply XLR308. Do you remember which rail you used?

I stopped by Red Hawk Rifles and bought it, it was marked McMilllan but any of them with 3" spacing would do I'm sure.

Any way to utilize a flush cup so I don’t have to drill a third hole?
