1. In the Kit
The Classic Rifle Adapter kit includes all the essential components you need for installation onto rifles with conventional removable sling studs:
Classic Rifle Adapter
6 x Ferritic Steel Screws: Various lengths for different stock profiles.
10 Gauge x 1" Wood Screw
10/32 Engineering Screws: Available in 1/2", 5/8", 3/4”, and 1" lengths to accommodate different rifles.
M5 x Engineering Screw
3 x Synthetic Mounting Plates: Designed to fit flat, curved, and highly curved rifle stocks.
1 x Double-Sided Adhesive Pad: Provides additional security during installation.
3mm Hex/Allen Key: For tightening and securing the adapter.
2. Installation Process
Step 1: Remove Sling Stud
Begin by using the provided 3mm hex key to unscrew the existing sling swivel stud from your rifle stock. Ensure that your sling stud is not bonded in place—consult your rifle's manufacturer or dealer if unsure.
Step 2: Select the Appropriate Components
Choose the synthetic mounting plate that best fits the profile of your rifle stock—flat, curved, or highly curved. Then, select the correct screw from the kit, considering the length and thread type that matches your rifle's needs. The majority of hunting rifle stocks use the 10/32” UNF screws, which are finished in black oxide.
Step 3: Attach the Adapter
Position the selected mounting plate on the rifle stock, aligning it with the existing sling stud hole. Place the Classic Rifle Adapter on top of the plate and insert the screw. Use the 3mm hex key to securely fasten the adapter to the stock. Be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage the stock or adapter.
Step 4: Optional Adhesive Pad
For additional security, consider using the double-sided adhesive pad. Ensure you observe the side labeled for stock application, as it has been designed to be removeable. Place the pad between the synthetic mounting plate and the rifle stock before securing the adapter.
Please note: Use of the adhesive pad included with the Classic Rifle Adapter Kit 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.
Additional Considerations:
Screw Identification: The 10/32” UNF screws (black oxide finish) are compatible with most U.S.-made rifles. The silver-finished screws include the metric screws and the 10-gauge wood screw. If your rifle uses a 10/24” UNC fitting, contact us for assistance as this screw has a coarser pitch that will not fit the UNF threads.
