Christensen Arms 4″ Bottom Picatinny Rail Black w/ Sling Mount

Description

A front sling stud is handy, but it only does one thing. The Christensen Arms 4" Bottom Picatinny Rail fixes that by giving you a full MIL-STD-1913 rail surface right where you need it, while keeping a spot to run your sling. It bolts onto the existing forward sling stud location on the underside of your stock forend, so there's no permanent modification needed to add real mounting capability to a rifle that came without a bottom rail.

What the Bottom Picatinny Rail Does for Your Setup

The big win here is the integrated sling mount location. A lot of bottom rails force you to give up your sling attachment point when you clamp on a bipod, and that's a frustrating trade. This one keeps both in play, so you can run a Picatinny-mount bipod up front and still have somewhere to hook a sling. At 4 inches long, there's enough real estate to position a bipod, a light, or a hand stop without adding a bunch of bulk or weight to the front end.

Build and Fit on the 4-Inch Christensen Arms Rail

The rail is machined from aluminum and finished in black anodizing, which gives it a subdued, low-glare look that blends in on most modern rifles. It's a natural match for Christensen Arms stocks like the Ridgeline and Mesa, and because it uses the standard forward sling stud location, it works across a wide range of bolt-action rifles that share that setup. Owners tend to point out that the bottom contour mates up cleanly against the forend and that the width plays nicely with common bipod clamps.

Installation is straightforward for most stocks, and the necessary mounting hardware comes in the box. If you've been wanting to move to a Picatinny bipod or add gear up front without a whole new stock, this is one of the simpler upgrades you can make.
