Are these GrovTec machine screw studs suitable for traditional wooden rifle stocks?

No, the GTHM54 kit is specifically engineered for synthetic, polymer, fiberglass, or hollow forends that require a through-bolt and backing nut. Solid timber or wood stocks typically require coarse wood-screw threads rather than machine screws.

What is included in the GTHM54 bulk package, and what are the dimensions?

This workshop pack contains 48 complete sets, including the 7/8-inch shank length machine screws, matching threaded backer nuts, and protective spacers. All components feature an all-steel construction with a durable black oxide finish.

Do I need any special permits or licenses to purchase these firearm hardware studs in Australia?

No permits or licenses are required. Sling swivel studs, screws, and hardware are unregulated firearm accessories under Australian state and territory legislation, meaning they can be freely purchased for retail sale.

What types of slings and bipods are compatible with these swivel studs?

The studs feature a standard eyelet and cross-hole profile designed to accept all standard 1-inch and 1.25-inch American or Uncle Mike's-style QD sling swivels, as well as stud-clamp bipods such as Harris and Caldwell platforms.

Sling Swivel Stud Kit - GrovTec GTHM54

The GrovTec 7/8" Machine Screw with Nut and Spacer (48 Pack) is a workshop-quantity hardware set designed to provide a secure through-bolt anchor point on firearm stocks. Engineered specifically for synthetic, polymer, composite, or hollow forends, each assembly uses a fine-threaded machine screw paired with a backing nut and protective spacer to establish a rigid mounting post. The standardized stud cross-hole accommodates all standard 1-inch and 1.25-inch quick-detach sling swivels, as well as stud-mounted accessories including Harris-style bipods across any firearm calibre.

Key Features

Bulk Workshop Quantity: Supplied as a package of 48 complete sets, with each set containing a threaded machine stud, a matching backing nut, and a protective spacer.
Through-Bolt Mechanical Anchor: Utilises fine machine threading and a rear knurled/threaded backer nut to ensure structural retention in thin-walled forends where wood-style threads pull out.
Universal Accessory Interface: Standard eyelet cross-hole fits standard 1" and 1.25" Uncle Mike's-style QD sling swivels and stud-clamp bipods.
All-Steel Construction: Manufactured from all-steel components with a protective black oxide finish for field corrosion resistance and resilience against firearm recoil forces.

Who is the GrovTec 7/8" Machine Screw with Nut and Spacer - 48 Pack for?

Professional gunsmiths and stock builders — Requiring workshop inventory to outfit custom polymer or composite builds, this 48-pack provides bulk quantities of complete rifle sling swivel stud sets with matching nuts and spacers for repetitive installation jobs.
Competitive shooters maintaining multiple rifle chassis — Securing sling anchors and bipods across synthetic platforms, where the 7/8-inch (~22.2 mm) machine shank accommodates standard forend wall thicknesses up to approximately 5/8"–3/4" to ensure safe through-bolt thread engagement.

Less suitable for: Solid timber or thick wood stocks requiring coarse wood-screw threads rather than machine screws with nuts; traditional wood stocks are better served by coarse-threaded wood-screw swivel studs that screw directly into solid material without a through-hole.
