| I know what you mean, I have the problem with the screw in sling swivels on my wood stocks. I gotta say, I really hate it when they move. I recommend locking them in there seriously, maybe some epoxy. Or if you can find the old sling swivels which screwed into the stock, but the swivel itself moved independantly, so it never backed the threads out. Brownells has some by NECG that would probably work good in the forend, they go through the wood and have a nut that threads on the other end. I like the ones like dakota has that take two screws and therefor can never turn on you. Look good too.
look at items 692-925-002, 661-000-032, 593-101-100, 359-111-001, 874-002-202
hope that helps.

| No, no plastic. These are for fiberglass stocks. The only drawback to epoxy that I can see is not being able to remove them during repainting. Is there any other reason you would want to remove them in the future?

| It's ok to use the epoxy. A little heat and the epoxy will let go should they need to come out.. I degrease and glue them in all the time.. Be certain that the screw has been in the hole and tightened before gluing it down... A hint, After drilling a clearance hole for the screw(s) for the sling stud take the screw and grind a single flat on the tip. This flat should extend from the tip to where the threads are full diameter and should remove the threads from one side of the screws tip. This will allow the screw to 'cut' the threads into the wood, not swage them in. Swaging causes the wood to disintegrate when the screw is removed.. If you wish to remove the stud, a nail the size of the through hole is bent so it will hang in the hole and a torch is used to heat it until the epoxy is softened... |
