I bought a new H&S Synthetic stock with adjustable butt plate. It came with two swivel studs on the foregrip and a third near the buttplate. They are all very loose and if tightened up tight against the stock they are about 45 degrees beyond perpendicular to the stock centerline. They all appear to have a metal insert to screw the stud into but it is up in the stock a bit and not flush with the outside of the stock. I applied blue Loctite to them, aligned them perpendicular to the stock and let them set 24 hours. I could then remove all three of them with my fingers and they were not even tight. What am I missing. Will Loctite now work or is there another type glue needed? Thanks for the help.

Re: Need help with H&S Stock
Paul...I have three HS stocks. All came with studs that were hand tight. I have to say though none were offcenter or crooked. Any way I tried the Loctite also with negative results. ROB 01 on the hide suggested I use "EPOXY". On my PSS stock I used "JB WELD", and problem solved. They are never coming out. I recommend trying the epoxy route. Good luck.
P.S. Maybe call HS before trying the epoxy about the orooked studs, and see what they say.

Re: Need help with H&S Stock
You can file the base of the stud (where it meets the stock) little by little until it lines up. It's an exacting process, but seriously will only take you about five minutes.

Re: Need help with H&S Stock
I went with the JB Weld, and I am happy with it. There might be other stuff out there, but that is what my hardware store had at the time. I glommed up the stud threads real good, and screwed them in till they were all the way in and centered. JB Weld is a two part EPOXY that sets in a couple minutes....(real fast)....so be careful and work quickly.
