Our range of Gunsmith Adapters are designed for hunters who want the ultimate in discreet lightweight attachment systems for their Spartan Javelin and SpringBok Bipods, Ascent, Hoplite, and Sentinel Tripods, SpringBok Quad Sticks, and Davros Heads.

Style: Classic Gunsmith Adapter

Style

Discreet Low Profile Design

Bonded directly into your wooden or synthetic stock, this adapter sits almost flush with the forend, leaving nothing to snag on brush or catch on a rifle slip. At just 0.3oz (9g), you won’t notice it’s there until you need it. The outer rim is designed to sit slightly proud of the stock, so you can find it by feel in low light or when a shot opportunity comes up fast.

Fits Wood And Synthetic Stocks

This adapter works with both solid and hollow rifle stocks, so it suits most hunting rifles. Solid stocks need a 19mm Forstner bit, while hollow polymer stocks use an 18mm hole saw, with the adapter bonded in place using a metal-filled epoxy. It’s a straightforward job for any competent home gunsmith, and our step by step product guide walks you through the whole process. If you’d rather not drill your own stock, any professional gunsmith can fit it for you.

MagnaSwitch™ Attachment System

This adapter turns your rifle stock into a MagnaSwitch™ mounting point, letting you click your bipod or tripod on and off in seconds without tools. Leave your support gear in the pack until you need it, then attach it quickly when the shot is set up. For even more versatility, a second adapter can be fitted closer to the rifle’s balance point, giving you a better mounting position for tripod heads and angled shooting positions.

Reviews

Positive lockup, strong, fast

"This adapter works exactly the way it is described. My only complaint is that the magnetic plug does not have a lanyard hole. I drilled one through mine so I could dummy cord it to a nearby sling stud. When the bipod is in use, I stick the plug on the stud. When it’s not, I replace the plug to keep junk out of the socket. The dummy cord prevents the plug from getting lost. Otherwise, a great product and an unbeatable price."

As good as advertised

"The CGA is exactly as described. My only complaint is my Henry H12 . 357 does not have enough room to drill out the front stock. So still looking for a good solution. Not the parts fault so 5 stars it is"

Holder for many things.

"Nice and flush with gun stock . It’s the future. To all those type of things. ."

useful product

"my typical shooting position for coyotes is seated on or near the ground. the primos bipod combined with this adapter make 200+ yard shots relatively easy on a coyote sized target. the low profile gunsmith adapter is much nicer than the surface mounted adapter. and super easy to install."

— Stan H. (5/5)

Gunsmith adaptors

"Great system! Got Mcmillan to install 2 of these in my new Game Warden 2. 0 stock build. Really clean system for bipod and tripod use"

— BRETT A. (5/5)

worth the stress of drilling a hole

"I was probably like many very intimidated at drilling a hole into my nice rifle but it worked out great and very happy with it. I do recommend taking some practice runs on a scrap piece of wood to be comfortable with the drill press set up. After you add one to your first rifle you'll want to add a them to your other rifles."
