Description
The GrovTec GTHM289 Heavy Duty Push Button Bases give you a permanent, low-profile home for your GT push button swivels on just about any wood or synthetic stock. They are machined from stainless steel and coated in a non-glare black oxide, so once they are seated they sit flush and out of the way with no snag point when the swivel is popped out. You get a matched pair in the box, which covers both your front and rear attachment points, or lets you add a base where there wasn't one before.
What Sets the GTHM289 Bases Apart
These are the full-rotation, threaded version of GrovTec's base lineup, meaning the swivel spins freely for full freedom of movement. That is the setup most hunters and range shooters want since the sling can twist and settle naturally against your body instead of fighting you. GrovTec also builds these to tight tolerances, and the stainless construction gives them the strength to hold up under real load. Every GrovTec product carries a lifetime warranty, and these are made in the USA.
Installing the GrovTec Push Button Bases
These do take a little bench work, so plan on it. GrovTec's instructions call for drilling a 1/2 inch (or 33/64 inch) hole 9/16 to 5/8 inch deep, then tapping it with a 9/16-18 UNF bottom tap and threading the base in. A dab of two-part epoxy like JB Weld on the threads is recommended, especially on lightweight-fill synthetic stocks where a little extra anchor goes a long way. GrovTec also sells a dedicated GTHM262 installation tool that makes controlling seating depth much easier if you want to get it perfectly flush.
Once they are in, swapping slings is as simple as it gets: press the button, pull the swivel, and go. For anyone building out a custom rifle or upgrading a factory stock to a proper quick-detach setup, these are a clean, trustworthy foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What swivels do the GTHM289 push button bases work with?
These bases accept any GrovTec (GT) push button swivel, so you can pair them with GrovTec's heavy duty push button swivel loops or their multi-adaptor studs. They are the full-rotation version, which lets the swivel spin freely once installed. If you are running GrovTec quick-detach slings, this is the base that anchors them to your stock.
Are the GrovTec push button bases hard to install?
They do require a little fitting work rather than just screwing in. You drill a 1/2 inch hole about 9/16 to 5/8 inch deep, tap it with a 9/16-18 UNF bottom tap, and thread the base in with a dab of two-part epoxy recommended for a solid anchor. GrovTec's GTHM262 installation tool makes controlling the seating depth easier if you want the base sitting perfectly flush.
Do these come as a pair or single?
The GTHM289 bases are sold as a pair, giving you two matched bases in the package. That covers both a front and rear mounting point on most rifles. You can also install just one if you only need to add an attachment point where there wasn't one before.
Will these work on a synthetic stock?
Yes, they are built for both wood and synthetic stocks. On lightweight-fill synthetic stocks, adding two-part epoxy in the tapped hole gives the base a much stronger anchor to bite into. Once seated, the base sits flush so there is no snag point when the swivel is removed.
