Swivel pulled out.

[jmorris]

I pulled the swivel from my Marauder due to bipod use. My Father would say, 'it's cheap plastic", others would come to find I abused the space aged polymer. In any case, I really liked it with the bipod (springs are a bit stronger than needed though) and did not like the cost and/or weight, of aftermarket stocks for something I just play with from time to time.

So, I cut the threads off the swivel and the head of a 10-32 screw. Then threaded a piece of 3/8 brass rod, 10-32.



Next, I welded the threads to the swivel head and turned the brass to fit the damaged hole I drilled out to 1/4" (from the top vs bottom).



And pressed it in.



Put the tank pad back in



and we are back in business, for free, today.

I always find if others go for it and share like this it inspires me to do the same
