I've got a Brno/CZ mauser that has a stripped out front sling mount. Does Brownell's or someone sell a threaded anchor that I can use to fix it, i.e. drill the hole out oversized, screw in the anchor and then screw the sling mount (machine screw type probably) into the anchor? Obviously I can fill the hole and drill a new one, I'm just trying to not do that unless I have to.

Yes.

Goes in the barrel channel.

Try Brownell's.

Here you go big spender.....

Countersink it in from the barrel channel, as suggested by flaco.

Yeah, I already thought about that and have had to do that on another gun in the past that had a synthetic stock. I was just hoping that someone made such an anchor, so that I didn't have to do the whole countersink routine, but it's easy enough.

For a temp. fix, try wrapping a bit of steel wool around the screw & then screw it in. It should hold for awhile. yuo could also just accraglass the swivel into the hole.

Just put some epoxy gel of anykind in the hole wax the screw , put it in, wipe of excess.

I fixed one and it has worked for years, by bundeling up a few tooth picks and squirting them with elmers glue, breaking them off in the hole, waiting for the glue to dry, then screwing the stud in. It has worked well enough i cant remember witch of my rifles i did it too ! ...tj3006

Thomas Jones,

I learned that same trick from my dad, other than he used wood match sticks instead of toothpicks. I fixed a stripped out stud on the bottstock of my Ruger 10/22 like that probably 15 years ago and it's held ever since...

Kingfisher, McMillan and others use a threaded anchor that has a pretty large bearing surface on the bottom of the barrel channel that the stud threads into--it has a couple of integral 'fins' that are driven into the stock under pressure. perhaps just when the stud is buttoned down--seems pretty bullet proof to look at it.

I am sure you can find something like this at Brownells if not Home Depot or a hardware store.
