Good luck with that one. It's more profitable for them to sell you a new stock, and that is what they will be doing. Complete nonsense. After hitting a dead end a few months ago, I ended up mounting a mini arca for my tripod. Went with the 1/4-20 option. Using a clamp for my bipod.
Why in the world would anyone buy the King to begin with If you wanted a tactical looking gun.
Almost forgot, KRAFORD AND LYPT was willing to make me a bolt on rail, but they needed the gun, I was just not willing to ship it. Send them an email.
Looks like a good option. Did you use blind nuts or wood screws threaded into the wood? I'm nervous about the wood delaminating.
T nuts for wood that came with the rail, snipped off the fingers and epoxied in place through the holes and a layer above. I had to remove some material on the inside off the stock to clear the neck on the bottle. Yeah, it's a risk, but didn't have a choice. I'm not using the bottle for my tripod.
Thanks, in that case I guess I'll roll the dice and install a stick of picatinny rail using blind nuts and do the same epoxy method as you and hope I don't have an issue. It doesn't look like you are having any issues. I'm with you on not wanting to put stress on the bottle, a bipod is okay but not hanging on a tripod.
No issues so far, rock solid. I thought about mounting a 10" rail, but backed down. I think that would apply to much force.
For my setup, that happens to be the balance point. Perfect location.
