[QUOTE="ultraedge, post: 931923, member: 36257"] I have had 5 or 6 front studs on HS stocks break under recoil shooting .338 EDGE with a brake. The DE stud kits work well. I have also made front studs out of a .375 shoulder bolt with .25 threads. You have to retap the hole in the forend, cut the shank to the correct length, drill the fiberglass down to the bedding block so the .375 shank will fit, file or grind the end of the cut off shank so the swivel will fit and drill the hole for the swivel. Before you file or grind the sides of the shank, you need to screw the stud into the stock and mark the sides where they need fitting to the swivel. This process takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish and I have shot these rifles for thousands of rounds with 0 failures. Gary [/QUOTE]
