finreid Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 for a synthetic stock i would use a stud and nut. try bushwear, i bought one from them last summer and pretty sure it only cost me a quid or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcC Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 You could try filling the hole with two part epoxy resin adhesive, I did in a wooden stock and it worked a treat. I'm sure a stud with a screw from Bushwear will certainly cost more than a few quid !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
