Need sling help

[fishingjim66]

I have a Daystate Wolverine 2, and I would like to install a sling. Not sure how to start, wood on the front is maybe 3/16" with the bottle on top. Is there a way to attach the hardware to the front that I'm not seeing and still have a secure sling, I would really appreciate any help out there..

Thank You

Yes, there is plenty of wood up front to attach a picatinny or sling stud. People do it all the time. B&T Industries that makes Atlas bipods makes a kit for this type of installation. I think it's the BT17 installation kit. When you drill the holes for the hardware, you just countersink the holes a bit on the underside to allow use of the kit's cap screws to fit flush and not interfere with your guns bottle. Then you just substitute a sling swivel stud BT14 for the screw that came with the kit. If the sling swivel stud is too long, just cut it to length before final installation. Make sense? It's a pretty common installation and it only costs like $5. 

Or, if you rather, you just use any sling swivel stud and countersink the underside for the nut and washer so it doesn't interfere with your bottle.

If you just need a sling I used the Slogan Outdoors shotgun sling. Use a wrap of black vinyl tape around the barrel where the loop goes around the barrel and you will never leave a mark. Have been using mine for a year and am very happy with it.

Contact HEAVY IMPACT here on AGN. He makes a slick bottle clamp with pic rails at sides and bottom. On my Hatsan Bully I have an adapter that tightens the clamp to my bottle with a sling stud cause all my bipods are sling stud mount. On the side pic rail I used a picatinny to QD attachment for my sling, and another member turned me in to the QD insert from Impact Weapons. The pics with the blue tape is of my gun when I mounted that insert, and the other photos are from Impact Weapons web site. You can see my Bully with the sling attached, QD at each end. My Bully is almost 14 lbs, and I’ve slung that up on my shoulder to test it. No problems.
