Just got my T4, and the need to get a rail so I can mount my BT10-LW17. I figure that because the 2 swivel studs are 3 1/2" apart, I will need to use a BT17 4" 1913 rail. Would like to see a few pics if anyone has any.

Thanks,

Chris

I wanna know too. I have a Manners T4 also and would love an Atlas...

I had Tom install a Seekins sling rail system on my t4 when I ordered it a couple years ago. been working nicely ever since.

I have Seekins on my H-S stock right now, but it won't fit the T4, its spacing is not enough. Glen's rails are spaced 2" apart for H-S and 3" apart for McMillan, the Manners is 3 1/2".

I did a how to in the gunsmithing section, the search function is a wonderful thing

and if you dont like 427s method. You can remove one of the sling studs, drill some pilot holes and screw in some wood screws with wood glue on the threads and rock out with it

I saw the how to method awhile back, my T4 already has two swivel studs, I am looking for anyone that used the 4" rails on existing studs.

Manners usually imbeds a metal plate behind studs. Since you have two studs, it may be a single plate which will give you more rail mounting options. I would call Tom and find out more.

Factory MCM uses 3.25" spacing and Manner's uses 3.5" spacing. The Seekins rail fits the MCM spacing and the Accu-shot BT17 fits the Manners. I believe either MCM or Manners will drill the sling stud spacing in any location if requested but those are the default numbers.

I had Manners install the sling stud 3.25" apart so I could use the Seekins rail. My preference is not to have a swivel on the bottom of the forend.

Appreciate it
