Anyone have issues with basic sling swivel studs that thread into a stock and have to be turned in line with the stock right as they get tight?
I have a Sako A7 300wsm rifle with their Tecomate composite stock and stainless sling swivels with 10-32 threads that keep turning loose, and I'm scared to turn them any tighter for fear that I can't go another half turn to line up the swivels with the stock again/ or might strip them out. Are these threaded into the composite only or is there a steel collar embedded in the stock? Should I use loctite on the threads? If so, what kind of loctite? Is there a stainless swivel with 10-32 threads I could buy that's made to rotate freely after tightening? Any gunsmithing input or other ideas appreciated.
