I thought that too until I realized that the piccatiny mount that attaches to the sling stud lines up perfectly so half of the piccatiny mounting plate is attached to the sling stud at the bottom of the tube clamp and the other half is fitted snugly against the bottom of the stock forend which prevents any unnecessary strain on the airtube. FX did a great job of making sure the tube clamp sling stud is positioned where it is lined up at the exact height it should be if I were to have installed the sling stud in the actual stock forend thus preventing any unnecessary mounting stress once the bipod and sling stud adapter plate is attached.
