Synthetic stock repair sling bolt ripped out

[dblungshot]

T3 stock upper bolt...appears to be stock bolt...ripped out while walking. Any wise guy have a suggestion for the best product to use to re secure this bolt? 

I'd like something in black to match stock in case of it spuging out and also capable of bonding the metal bolt. 

Thanks ahead of time!

JB Weld or other 2 part epoxy. I have used them on both wood and synthetic stocks.

Same exact thing happened to me while I was bearing down on a buck using my harris bipod that attaches to the sling swivel. I took my stock off the action and used two-ton-epoxy for the repair. nine years later its still holding strong!

Good to know

You can purchase the same thing in a bolt, rather than a screw, that comes with a nut for the inside of the stock, you can even get it at Walmart.  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Uncle-Mike-s-Sling-Swivels/17284263

Wouldn't the gun need to be taken apart to access that? The nut and bolt seems the best solution but it would take a lot of work and re zeroing than maybe not if it holds just fine...if there's an easy way to do that let me know.

A couple screws and the entire stock can be removed, shouldnt take more than a minute or two.

  Tikka is no different than most, it will either have two slotted screws or two T-25 torx screws, depending on how old it is.

Here, a quick YouTube search shows you how.

  I'm quite sure there are more than a couple out there that did not realize it's that simple.

I think (if I remember correctly) that the pre-64 Winchester model 70's had a nut in the forend for the forend sling post.

I love Boyd stocks, I got three of them, but they cost $124.00+/-, epoxy $4.00/5.00.
Quick easy fix,  remove the stock, mix the epoxy, put a little bit in the hole & insert bolt/stud/screw,
(be neat)let set until epoxy hardens, DONE. Reassemble rifle. On a tikka you should have no problem, tighten the fasteners GOOD and snug. no loss of zero.
