Has anyone installed stock Ruger sling swivels on a Take Down, or can it even be done?

Thanks

I wouldn't imagine it'd be any different than installing studs on any other synthetic-stocked rifle.

Drill a hole approx. 1.5" from the butt, then do the same about 1.5" back from the barrel band. Or you could use the Uncle Mike's adapter to attach the sling to your barrel band directly.

Yep easy as I used the adapter on the barrel band and drilled into the butt stock and put the screw in.

I've done a few in synthetic stocks. Some are solid ( the old boat paddle) some are hollow. If and when I was unsure of the holding ability I used the Uncle Mike's or my own DIY equivalents to the barrel band and then drilled the butt undersized dipping the stud into a mix of JB Weld first. It was just insurance against a sudden surprise. Never had an issue.
