Double tap studs, one front one back.

Like above, I'd tap the stock as well. It's a easy process with a steady hand. Tape off the bit for the correct depth and have at it. 10 minutes tops..

The front stud in a stud kit usually has a round nut and standard threads. You drill a hole all the way through the forend then countersink the round nut so it doesn't interfere with the barrel. Work carefully.

If its just for you and not selling I would drill and tap the mounts in the wood.

I've killed many rabbits, squirrels, and sparrows with this little rifle! They are neat little things. They can shoot .22 short, .22 long, and .22 long rifle (I haven't seen .22 long in forever). When you shoot the shorts, there is very little noise. I love this little rifle!

Rudey, I was in Academy Friday doing some Christmas shopping and saw .22 Longs. I had to look at them twice. They were in a brick.

I have an old Remington 550-1 .22 auto that belonged to my Dad. It was in pretty bad shape, jammed regularly, stock beat up, scratched, and in overall fairly poor shape. I've started working on it and have figured out that the jamming was not due to any mechanical malfunction, just decades of gunk buildup. A little Ed's Red and it's fine. The stock, I've gotten down to bare wood and gonna do a nice tung oil finish on it. I'm not concerned that I may be lowering the value of the gun by refinishing it because one, I'm not going to sell it anyway, and two, though these are one of the most reliable and accurate .22 autos, there were so many produced that they're just not worth too much.

Anyway...my question concerns a sling for this rifle. There are no provisions for a sling for this rifle. In fact, part of the damage to the stock was due to a slip on sling that wouldn't stay on the stock, so it was taped on. Yes, taped. The tape ruined the finish. I'm looking for a sling for this rifle. I'm not sure I want to tap the stock to install one, but it might be an option. A nice slip on of some sort might be nice, if available. I'd like a nice leather one.

Any suggestions? Tap and mount a standard sling? Are there some nice slip on ones? I'd like to hear any and all suggestions!

Here is a picture of a 550-1 (not mine), and a picture of where mine is right now!

I have my Dads as well. It's like new and I picked up another for if I ever needed parts. If you need anything for it, let me know.
