A friend has stripped the swivel stud hole on a laminate stock mdl 70, what would be the best way to fix this? I'm guessing maybe a machine screw and nut, inletting the stock to accept the nut and then epoxy/marine tex in place? Or is there a type of insert?

Is your friend named Gumby?
I'd go the machine screw/nut route.
Problem solved.

Where's Pokey?
Mortise the nut down from inside the barrel channel, bed it in epoxy, run the mahine screw up and in from the outside. Voil�!

Fore or Aft? You can fill the hole with a good epoxy on the buttstock and redrill, or coat the stud with wax and leave it in the hole as the epoxy dries.
