    Is that hole not big enough for a QD sling swivel?!
    Nope,not any i've seen.

    Even if it were...

    What is the swivel mount going to grab?Are you going to drill out the hole to perfectly fit the swivel and then remove material from the inside creating a rim for the swivel to grab?

    Either we're on totally different pages here or i think that MI mount i posted is going to get you closet to a QD swivel on "the toe!!!".

    As long as it would span the width of the stock at the bottom/rear(just forward of the lanyard hole) that is.

    Yes. This was my plan.

    No... I think that MI mount would have to mount across the stock, and I want the swivel mounted along the length of the gun, with the sling running through it north-south, not east-west.

    I'll keep mulling this over.

    In the meantime, if anybody with a CTR or MOE and a calipers and nothing better to do could take some measurements for me, I'd appreciate it...

    Good luck with that.

    Hope you can work it out.

    Just thread it at the toe with a buckle for retention if using the MOE. I prefer the CTR for the QD point and the friction lockup but you can use a cuckle and still get QD with it.

    Thread it? Do you mean drill and tap threads in the toe, or do you mean to thread something through the lanyard hole?

    I don't want to drill and tap plastic, and I don't want anything that flops around. I like the stock GI sling mount on the M4 stock, because it's rigid and doesn't twist and doesn't let a leather sling twist around itself.

    I don't need QD (the M4 sling mount doesn't remove at all).

    On the other hand, maybe I can put a sling mount in the side-mount (or just use one of the slots), and set it up just like my M1 Carbine's sling...

    I'm still mulling this over,

    I've taken some measurements on my end...

    I've got a set of QD sling swivels on my bolt-action Marlin .22lr. They're 1/8" between the shaft and the base, and 5/16" across.

    Now, could somebody please tell me whether the CTR/MOE are more than 5/16" across at that hole at the toe, and whether the material around the hole is more than 1/8" thick?

    Thanks in advance,

    Bimmer

    Using a measuring tape...

    Yes and Yes.

    Looks like over 1/2" wide and about 1/4" of material arround the lanyard hole.

    Thanks, Jerm!

    At least now I know that this is probably a no-go...

    Back to the drawing board,

    In the first picture that Woody posted you can see the hole I'm talking about in the foreground . Just in front of the bottom of the butt-pad, there's a hole running left-right through the stock. Is that hole not big enough for a QD sling swivel?!

    Joe Friday, how thick is the rim around the hole? I'd have to guess, but I think a normal sling swivel is at least 1/4" or 3/8" across, and the gap from the cross-bar to the base is 1/8" or 3/16".
    Wouldn't that work? A little dremeling wouldn't ruin my whole day, of course...

    Just get a flippin standard issue M4 stock that has what you want, you can't make a ford into a BMW by changing the emblems. The CTR and MOE don't have what you want so get what does or deal with the way the CTR / MOE are configured those are your choices! Yes you could "probibly" dremel your way into making the Unkle Mikes swivel fit there but as you thinned out that area it would get weaker and the swivel may not last in that position for long. Shit you can do damn near anything with a dremel if your willing to accept the consequences.

    I'm not trying to be difficult, but why do you want a sling set in this way? Just curious.
