Bag rider install question.

[Taylorbok]

I have a Mcmillan fiberglass stock and had a piece of round bar milled to work as a bag rider, I am wondering what kind of threaded insert I can put into the but piece to use to bolt it to. I was thinking something like this but curious if there is something better or something else I should use

reason for bag rider is to add weight, will also be adding a heavy arca rail to the front

Brownells sells threaded inserts, think they are 10-32 thread pitch. Not sure that will be sufficient for a bagrider though.

Are you talking about these?

I was going to use 1/4-20 socket head cap screws.
Here is what I have. Looking now I should have gotten an angle put in to make it dead flat... maybe on gen 2

Not related to your question but here’s how mine is mounted.

I can't believe no one had info/input on this.
I went ahead with my inserts, I ended up having to drill the hole just under the major thread diameter so the threads barely engaged to avoid cracking the fiber glass, then I used JB weld to epoxy them in. seems to be sturdy, Time will tell.

I defiantly like the look of the diy self made over the over priced sold on brownells bag rider .

I used those stainless inserts pictured in the opening post for some sling mounts on a wooden stock I made. I also just decided to drill the holes big and epoxy them in. I tried a scrap piece from the same blank with the recommended drill sizes and was unable to get them to thread in straight, on location, and/or without cracking the wood.
