Shoo goo? LOL

There has got to be a cheap and easy fix. Those will be neither cheap or easy...

Gluing will never work long term. You need some sort of metal anchor to thread the stud into.

I make my own out of 1/2" steel round bar, but there are other options available from the hardware store.

What type of stock is it?

Here are a couple that I make, plus one that is available at the hardware store.

You didn't ask for cheap and easy. You asked for a stud that wouldn't turn out. I gave you a link to one.

A good epoxy will hold them, but they won't come out easily.

OK let me rephrase it: cheap and easy. I have about 8 synthetic stocks with the same annoying problem.

In;etting them for the 2 screw bases would be alot of work. And not sure how a screw would hold into fiberglass stock. would need a backer as well I would think. I do have those on my winchesters wood stock and they are great.

I used regular 2 part epoxy on many of them and none held.....Suggestions on a epoxy type?

Interesting. I see those will work in the front of the stock but what about the rear where you can't get behind it?

is there info on your website?

The round one fits perfectly in the butt stock. The one shown is for a 2-screw setup obviously.

Should add, obviously you have to remove the recoil pad to install the rear stud. I've used these on factory injection molded, McMillan, High Tech, Manners, and even wood stocks.

As you found out, epoxy is a miserable excuse for an anchor.

I'm with Charley on this one an internal anchor is the only way to go.

Why not create a lock screw arrangement, like Mauser used in bottom metal to lock action screws? Grind a half-moon notch in the stud head and then sink a screw behind it to lock the stud in. That's real cheap and easy.

Interesting idea.....
