I really want to add a sling to my WC .22 for carrying in the field. Has anyone here done theirs already? Looking for suggestions and precautions...
Slingstuds for Wildcat synthetic stock
- Thread starter hawkeye69
- Start date
I put sling studs in my synthetic Wildcat. It was very easy and straight forward. I installed as if wood. Removed the barrel and air tube.
If I were doing it again though, I'd probably put the air tube clamp on the tube. I did this on my Steyr to keep the rifle better balanced.

bowwild Where did you buy that clamp ? please ! I have studs on my synrod, its so heavy I just keep thinking what would happen to my scope if one pulls out. I like that idea of the clap thanks for showing Darell

I bought it from Airguns of Arizona. It was $39.00.
You have to make sure your airtime is the same diameter as the FX Wildcat. Looks like a lot of air rifles are, I know my Hunter Scout is the same.
It fits very nicely and is padded to prevent marring the barrel's finish.

if you can through bolt those studs your better off as those syn stocks don't hold screws as well as wood. I used helicoils on my bobcat to mount a picitiny for a atlas bi-pod and it took about 2yrs but finally they pulled through the stock material.

hawkeye69 I wonder if a gun smith or stock builder would have the right idea. Myself I would like to see a small padded ban that wrapped around the stock part way, then pinned thru the side. That would ease my mind of being pulled out, similar to the one bowwild showed ( barrel ban ). But you might be going the right direction with the epoxy. Best of luck ! Darell
