    The one I have seen was a factory-job. They used a fine-thread stud on the forearm, so the the nut for the stud was on the inside of the stock with a washer on both sides of the stock. The rear was just a pilot hole and a standard lag-threadded stud screwed into it.

    what kind of sling mounts... there are several differant types that attach in differant ways... you might have to drill and then epoxy in... or just drill a pilot hole and thread it in.... pics might help.

    Thanks to everyone for responding. I was trying to post a picture, but for some reason I am not able. I am not looking for any type of mounts in particular, just looking for a way to attach a simple, basic sling. I think that I can buy a barrel band with a mount already attached, so that would take care of the front mount. I am more concerned about the butt stock. Because of the hollow plastic I don't think any type of screw would be very secure.
    :yesway:Thanks a lot repair for the offer. Would you be looking for some type of compensation or is this just free and clear. Either way I am interested. Thanks again everybody.

    Great I'll take it (for free that is :): ). I'd like to set a time and place to pick up if not too far. I tried to PM you but I guess I can't PM anyone until I have at least 10 posts.
