A small hole was drilled in the stock just in front of the sling mount, for a sling stud to be installed. The harris bipod is installed on that sling stud.

The scope mount is a steel sadlak. After doing gobs of research, they have the most features designed to prevent the mount from shooting loose. Its based on the brookfield design, with lots of improvements, more improvements than the smith.
 
Beautiful rifle......I hate to be the one to break it to you but someone stole your bayonet lug.
 
10 Ring Tao, did you need to have your mount custom fitted to your M1A? What year of manufacture is your receiver? I'm looking to get a Sadlak mount for my M1A (manufactured december '06), but I'd like to know if the standard GI-spec mount will fit without issues, or if I'll need to have one custom-fitted. Thanks. :)

I was considering naming her Vera, but I think I'll save that name for an AK based shotty that I'm sure will be in my future.

I think I found that she was made in 2002, under the mo-**** ban, which explains the bayo lug.

When sadlak sends you a scope mount, it includes a set of inspection pins that allow you to inspect the groove on the left side of your receiver to make sure it isn't horribly out of spec. That groove and how the mount fits into it, is the single most important part of the scope mount not shooting loose. The inspection instructions were confusing, but I think I got the jist of it, and my groove depth/width was acceptable. If the groove is way out of spec, included in the kit is a worksheet to figure out the dimensions, which you send back to sadlak and they mill a bit off the mount to make it fit.

The instructions for actually installing the mount were well done, and the kit included a small tube of loc-tite, with instructions on where and when in the process to apply it. Follow the instructions! At first it looked like nothing was going to line up, but as soon as you start turning the locking nut, everything slides into place.
 
See, now this is how such a rifle is supposed to look, and to be used. It would have done no good to leave it locked away in a gun vault, never used. This rilfe was designed and manufactured to be used. Use it well!

Congrats again!
