welshwarrior Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes you can get one with a machine thread and nut on the back to bolt through the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 If you drill a very small pilot hole in the stock, and then screw the stud in slowly, you should be okay. You could also add a drop of Araldite to the screw thread. This is what I did to mine, and it's still holding firm after 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedwards1966 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Yes, I did one on my Hatan synthetic stock very easily. I drilled a hole, (be careful to get the right size, too small and it's won't go it or could cause problems and too large and it'll fall out and strip the plastic) then just screwed in the stud nice and tight. Job done. If you can get inside to fix a nut on and use a proper machine threaded bolt that's probably better, but if it's into thick stuff that won't allow you to get a nut on then do as I say and use one designed for a wooden stock with a course thread, very strong as long as it has a few mm of stuff to screw into. Strong glue could be good to add peace of mind, though when I did mine it certainly wasn't needed and it's removable if I so wished.

steve_b_wales Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Graham, are they specifically for synthetic stocks/& or general issue, & would you know where to source, thank's I used to screw type on the right of the photo, and it fitted into my stock perfectly. Most RFD's will stock them, or you can order them off Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbud1 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Cheers, I wonder why he stated they couldn't be fitted!.their a decent bunch in the shop & I get on well with them, as said I'll speak with them, thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Graham, are they specifically for synthetic stocks/& or general issue, & would you know where to source, thank's I have just bought a Howa 308 with a Hogue stock and it is fitted with one of those with the little round nut attachment. The Hogue is a pretty flimsy thing at best but there is no chance of the swivel pulling though. I did araldite it into place just to be on the safe side though, in case it did unscrew itself whilst in use, but once it was done you would need a hell of a lot of force to break it out. “Uncle Mike” makes them.

humperdingle Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I fitted them to a Ruger 10/22... Just changed the nut for a nyloc one, so it's never gonna work loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
