The muzzle brake kept damaging the strap on my Magnetospeed, I did some research and found a guy that used a friction arm that attached to picatinny rail on the gun, I don't have any guns with a rail so I came up with the idea of using the cradle from a bipod, Thanks to LoanHarvey for having a S series bipod cradle.
I used a coupling nut inside the pivot hole on the cradle with a washer and bolt on the back so the friction arm wouldn't pull the nut out. Then used a 1/2" round piece of aluminum rod drilled and tapped on one end for the friction arm and on the bayonet end I made a flat spot on the top and bottom, and drilled a hole to use the factory bolt and knob that is used to tighten down the strap. I made it so I can still use the strap if a gun has no swivel stud.
This was all done with hand tools, because I don't have a lathe or mill, I think it turned out pretty good.
