FAQ

How Do I Install a Gunsmith Adapter Into My Rifle Stock?

The installation of a Gunsmith Adapter involves removing the rifle action from the stock, marking the center point of the stock, and boring a hole to fit the adapter. It is recommended to seek the help of a professional gunsmith if you are not comfortable with the process.

Where Should the Gunsmith Adapter Be Positioned on the Rifle Stock?

The adapter should be centrally positioned on the centerline of the forearm, ensuring it does not obstruct other fittings or come into contact with the barrel. It should have sufficient space to fit and to accept any bedding medium used.

What Drill Bit Should I Use for Boring a Hole in the Rifle Stock?

For solid material stocks, use a 19mm Forstner bit. For hollow stocks, an 18mm Hole Saw works well. If the initial fitting is too tight, a small rotary power tool can be used to enlarge the hole slightly.

How Do I Bond the Adapter to the Stock and Finalize the Installation?

For solid stocks, clean the bored hole with a suitable solvent degreaser and use a small amount of suitable epoxy, such as Devcon 10110 Type-A Plastic-Steel Putty, to bond the adapter in place. For hollow stocks, ensure the epoxy fully surrounds the adapter from the base to the top without reaching the barrel. After the epoxy cures, remove the masking material, clean the area, reassemble the action to the rifle, and check the zero.

Please note: Modifying your rifle stock with third-party equipment is at the user’s risk. Spartan Precision equipment does not accept responsibility for the failure of any products other than their own. Not compatible with the Blaser Carbon bipod.

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."

— James K. (5/5)

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"

— Todd B. (5/5)

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."

— Nathan B. (5/5)
