I am asking here because I am not handy, and if I am thinking about this incorrectly someone here might warn me off.
I have a rifle with a simple aluminum free float tube. No picatinny, no holes. I like it, but want to add, a QD sling swivel cup and small piece of rail for a bipod. My plan involves taping and marking the tube for little holes through which a bolt can be inserted with a nut on the other side.
My question: What should I use on the flat back of a QD cup or picatinny rail to allow it to sit solidly on a two inch tube?
Should I just stuff some JB weld under them? If I can find someone to drop some lead solder on the side not touching the tube, is that any better?
What would you use?
