    To complete the MOE Stock Sling Swivel Modification, an Uncle Mike’s QD sling swivel kit PN: 1403-3 and an Outdoor Connection detachable swivel kit PN: BO-5 were purchased.

    To accept the knurled nut, the rear sling slot of the Magpul MOE stock was opened slightly with a file.

    The slot was opened enough to allow the nut to spin freely once the modification was complete.

    The stock was measured to determine the length necessary to cut down the Machine Screw Swivel Base. The screw was cut to .5” to allow sufficient material for final finishing to fit.

    A 10-32 nut was run down the screw, then the screw inserted to the correct depth for trimming. The nut allows for chasing of the threads after the screw is cut, and allows for a truer filing and finishing of the cut portion of the screw shank.

    The trimmed and finished Machine Screw Swivel Base was de-greased with Brake Cleaner, then coated with an application of G96 Cold Blue.

    The position on the MOE Stock where the sling swivel would be mounted, was center punched for accurate drilling and to keep the drill bit from wondering.

    The stock adjustment latch was taped in the collapsed position, to allow for drilling of the stock. A #21 sized hole drilled into the stock, was the perfect size for the 10-32 Machine Screw Swivel Base.

    The drilled hole was then de-burred inside and out.

    Loctite 271 (Red) would probably suffice to securely hold the Machine Screw Swivel Base Knurled Nut, but putting more trust in a mechanical self-locking feature verses a chemical self-locking feature, I opted to use my staking tool to add the additional security of a mechanical “self locking” feature to the Knurled Nut.

    Loctite 271 (Red) applied the Machine Screw Swivel Base threads.
