snowz Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 just get some ALDERITE suitable for wood, fill the hole with some then insert the stud back into it. It will be permanently fixed in then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 1. Find (or make) a threaded socket to match the thread of the stud. 2. Roughen the outside of the socket with a few file marks to provide key. 3. Enlarge the hole in the stock to suit. 4. Fix socket in with araldite so the top is flush with the stock surface. A much neater and more permanent job . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 1. Find (or make) a threaded socket to match the thread of the stud. The studs have a thread akin to that of a wood screw, so unlikely you would be able to machine a socket to match. If it were me I would drill a new hole just a little back from the old one, far enough to not weaken/split the wood into the old hole.

Thanks for clarifying John - it's obvious I'm a shotgun shooter only at the mo isn't it ? In that case I'd try and fill the hole with an epoxy filler, drill into the epoxy and re-fit the stud.

You can get studs with a parallel machine thread, get one of those and counter bore inside the stock and drop the nut in there My 527 lux stock did this, they are very thin in the fore end so it is always a risk.

What you have is on the right, what you need is on the left: spot on mate i spent a while last night sqizzing round the net and found the exact things on midway uk site for the meager sum of £3.69p will phone my local agent mayfair shooting when they open in the morn [closed today] and order them i,m planning on inserting the nut from the barrel side of the stock with a bit of adhesive and that should do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 That's an interesting product there Stuart. Certainly a good idea to set that into a counterbore on the inside, then it will take a lot more load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
