Interesting idea. If it worked, it would be better than using glue. Let us know if you try it, how you did it, and how it works.

Done it.
For a customer I did that exact mod for his tube. I installed the barrel nut and marked the holes on the nut at 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:30...... Set the barrel nut in a drill press and made four 0.5" deep holes, but I can't remember what size screws I used but then I just tapped and threaded those holes and installed the screws. It was an easy mod but he wanted me to do it cause he said it made it feel more secure with the bipod attached. |

Why did you wait so long between marking each hole? 3 hours seems excessive.

So he liked it and it feels pretty solid? |
