    Has anyone added an arca rail to their at-one stock yet? If so, what setup did you go with? Henderson, Sawtooth, Area 419?

    There's only one sling stud hold to tap into so how are people attaching the rail at the rear
     
    I put an area 419 arca rail on my cz457 vpt in the manners stock. I imagine the 457 at-one would install the same way. Basically all I did was use the insert that the front sling swivel stud is threaded into as the first hole to attach the arca rail, then marked where I wanted to drill the others holes off of that. I'm pretty sure I used the front action screw as a spot to temporarily attach the rear of the rail to get the line straight, but I didn't mount it using that screw, if that makes sense. after I drilled the holes for the other mounting screws, I used a spade bit of the correct size to drill in the barrel channel using the holes I had already drilled to mount the giant sex bolts that the arca rail comes with. All in all it took no time at all. There's a video on how to do it on area419's youtube channel. The hardest part about it was finding the balls to drill holes in a manners stock.

    Lol.. I pretty much did the same process as you did.. Like you said, the hardest part was having the balls drilling into that Manners stock.. but it was a fairly simple job

    I put a picatiny rail on mine and drilled and counter sank #10 screws the attached to the sling mount nuts. Plan to put the area 419 universal on it as soon as it comes in with the same screws.

    I added one to two At-One stocks. I made my own though. I’ll get some photos and post them later. Making an Arca rail is pretty simple with some basic tools. I cut the ones I made out of G10/phenolic sheet. You just get a 1/4” thick sheet from amazon or fleabay, slice it to 1 1/2” wide and put a 45 degree bevel on each side. I use a router to cut mine but there are plenty of other ways to do it.

    This is the rifle with the rail. I’ll post some photos of how it’s attached when I can get some photos. If you notice I also added a barricade stop as well.
