Advice on Swivel Stud for Harris BiPod (Daystate Wolverine R HP Gray Lam Stock)

[PeterX]

Just purchased Daystate Wolverine R HP Gray Lam Stock and I am looking to add a BiPod.

Saw an article on Daystate's site that showed a Harris HBRMS BiPod mounted to Red Wolf, which looked ideal. No rail, just quick release stud. 

However the stock of Wolverine R HP and Red Wolf are not the same forearm thickness (at least from pix).

I've found one option: Outdoor Connection Swivel Base (available as either machine or wood screws).

Any advice would be appreciated!

I used Uncle Mike’s for wood (which is similar to the one you thinking about) with no problems. 
If the stock where you planning to attach is 1/2” or more you are good to go, you will need to drill pilot hole little bit smaller then size of the stud screw so you don’t split the wood, practice on piece of scrap wood. 
If you don’t have enough wood thickness there you may need install picatinny rail with 2 or 3 attachment points and 1/4” screw and use swivel adapter , that’s what I end up doing on one of my rifles where I didn’t have enough wood. 
Hope this helps.

Much appreciated for the quick response... The forearm is .95" thick in that area so a screw stud would seem to work then. I will proceed with caution 

Now to check out Uncle Mike's. Cheers!

.95" is plenty.

One more think , when trying on scrap of wood just memorize what direction swivel is oriented when you start screwing in so you know how will end up when is tight.

And the most important think I didn't mention , take out action from the stock, you don't want to drill and hit the bottle.

I just notice you in CT ,if you close by me and not filling comfortable with doing it shoot me a PM .
