    I drilled out the stock where it looks like should have a qd cup installed from the factory, (it should) using a 1/2" bit, drill all the way through the first wall, but not the second one. 
    Used a Magpul (MAG333-Type1) mount kit, you will have to tap the cup in using a poly or rubber hammer, the fit is tight. 
    Then with a 3/16" bit use the cup as a guide and drill the hole for the screw through the other wall. I also used a delryn spacer inside the stock to keep the screw from pulling the qd cup into the stock or breaking the wall on the screw side.
    Worked well.

    I put the nut inside the qd cup and the screw head in from the opposite side with a small washer, using the shortest screw that came with the kit and first used pencil eraser to hold the nut in place to get it started then a small flathead screwdriver from a glasses repair kit put in between the flat of the nut and the qd cup wall to finish tightening.

    Hmmm just picked up the magpul swivel sockets. They are not an drop right into the hole fit. Will require boring out the inner circle portion in order to seat the socket in more so that it sits flush against the bottom of the recess as is, the socket sits on the raised outer lip and protrude quite far out. Even when sitting at the bottom of the recess I would say it will still protrude out by around 5mm. The cleanest look would be obtained by drilling out that entire recess on one side and have the bottom of the socket sitting on the inner surface of the opposite side recess and securing it with a nut on the other side. I will likely take this to a gunsmith to get done cleanly as I was only comfortable drilling a screw hole into the recess20230914_212049.thumb.jpg.c0fa522e758b1e68f042d382db5019ee.jpg
