I wanted to thank you for this video. I lost my father in 2012 and shortly after this my mother called me over and gave me his Marlin 336. I'd forgot about this rifle because he was a Viet Nam veteran and gunshots in the woods put him in a bad place. I grew up hunting with my Uncles and cousins in East Texas,some of my greatest days. I began to make changes to my Dads's gun and it needed a stud in the rear stock. Your video gave me the confidence to get it done and it came out great...again, thank you.
Thanks for the video! I recently bought a Marlin Model 25MN and it doesn't have any sling attachments at all and I wanted to put a bipod on it so I watched your video and installed them today - it looks great and works perfectly! I basically knew the process overall but it was good to get confirmation from this video and the little details helped such as using the center punch and adding tape to the drill bit to get the depth correct.
Just came across your very informative (and simple) video. I have a vintage Marlin Camp Carbine 9 that I've been putting off adding a sling. Now I'm comfortable in installing one myself. Thanks!
How do you get the angle of the hole you are drilling, especially the one on the butt portion of the stock, correct? It could cant either angle, and that is my fear when doing this. I don't have a drill press, so I was thinking the way to go would be putting it in a vice? I don't have the guts to do it freehand like you did.
If you read the instructions you’re actually supposed to use two different drill bits to create a small counter bore. If you want it to look really nice a third counterbore will let you slightly countersink the studs but this method I. The video will work, but you risk some splintering or even splitting
Nice Video, one ? if it's a laminate stock what could you do to prevent the laminate from cracking? How is the studs and the laminate holding up on that 30-06? I am thinking of purchasing the 17hmr Savage with the Barracuda stock, but want to add the swivel stud so I can add a Henry style bi-pod.

Nick Henton Wow, Thank you that means a lot to me.
Four years later I’m here for the same reason. I’ll get it done e this week.

I enjoy your videos, fine work, I plan on putting a sling on my 870Rem and my Ithaca37 FeatherLight -Shoutout from Canada!
No wood glue or adhesives?

Ok, you said you have two different studs one for the stock and the other for the forend, but you did not show which is which?
If you can't figure that out, I would suggest you let someone else do it.
@@charlescanaday1599 I know but you did not state which one for the beginner, most UA-camrs just half-ass their videos.

Why is this video age-restricted?
Apparently YT deemed it so. I’m showing a modification to a “pew-pew” and that’s a no no
Savage with a weatherby stock. That’s funny!

Larry Jenkins you should run a tap into the stock to cut the threads, rather than letting the stud threads force their way into the hole.
Looks like the butt stock swivel is noticeably off center
Ray Charles can see that!
Thank you for the help
If you're doing a how to video, you should probably know exactly what size drill to use according to stud manufacturer recommendations. Imho
You forgot to use the little rubber washers that was laying inside the package.
There on there if you look you can see it squeeze out the side
Thats what she said...
Looks way off center to me. lol
That's what Ray Charles said too!
