Hey guys, I just picked up a new Mossberg Plinkster 802 Bolt Action from Sports Authority for $119 and I wanted to trick it out with a bipod and scope but didn't want to order the Harris bipod adapter that VitSports6 used: http://www.mossbergowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2647
I will show ya'll how to install a swivel stud for a bipod without ordering a specific kit for hollow stocks. I'm not going to show how to remove the stock; refer to VitSport6's thread if you need help with that.
First off, make sure your rifle is not loaded, remove the magazine, engage the safety, etc. I will not be held responsible for your stupidity!
My Plinkster, Tasco 50mm scope, Winchester bipod, TOC swivel bases from Gander Mountain, bracket from Lowes, and some scope rings.
The swivel bases from Gander Mountain were only 5 bucks and the bracket was 79 cents. 6 bucks total for a swivel stud, not bad!
Here we can see how the bracket fits perfect in the second opening, almost as if it were made for it.
Drill your hole specific to whatever stud/base kit you have and make sure you use a machine stud and not a wood screw type. The machine stud will have a nut to hold it on there and the bracket will further distribute any pressure making sure it doesn't rip right out. I also placed some Locktite on the thread to make sure the nut doesn't come lose.
Here's the finished product. I decided to go with a 32mm Bushnell scope.
