Description
If you've ever gone to hang a sling and realized your stock is missing a stud, or the old one stripped out, this GrovTec 12-pack is the fix. These are the classic 1/2" wood screw swivel studs from GrovTec's GTHM60 line, machined from steel with a black finish and built to give you a solid, no-wiggle anchor point for slings and accessories on wood-stocked rifles and shotguns.
The half-inch screw length is the standard size you'll see on plenty of factory stocks, which makes these a natural drop-in when you're mounting a sling, adding a rear stud for a Harris-style bipod, or replacing hardware that's seen better days. Twelve studs in one pack is more than most single builds need, so this is the kind of thing that lives in the shop and gets used for years across multiple guns.
What Makes These GrovTec Studs Worth Keeping Around
GrovTec builds their metal parts here in the USA and backs the brand with a reputation for tight tolerances and clean finishes. The black coating keeps things low-key and matches most blued or synthetic setups without drawing the eye. Since they're a common thread pattern, they'll pair with GrovTec's own locking and QD swivels as well as most other standard 1/2" studs on the market.
Installing the 1/2" Wood Screw Swivel Studs
Mounting is straightforward: drill a properly sized pilot hole, thread the stud in, and snug it down. On wood stocks the pilot hole matters, since going too tight can split the stock and too loose won't hold under sling tension. Take your time on that first hole and the rest is easy. Once seated, you've got a clean attachment point ready for a swivel and sling.
Whether you're building out a bolt gun, freshening up an old deer rifle, or just want spares on hand for the next project, having a full dozen of these on the bench beats hunting one down mid-build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will these 1/2" wood screw swivel studs fit?
They're a standard 1/2" wood screw thread, so they work with wood-stocked rifles and shotguns that use the common stud pattern. They accept GrovTec locking and QD swivels along with most other standard swivels on the market. They're meant for wood stocks, not synthetic or metal, since the wood screw threads bite into the material.
Can I mount a bipod with these GrovTec studs?
Yes. A rear or forend stud like this gives you the attachment point most Harris-style and clamp-on bipods need. Just make sure the stud is threaded in solid, since a bipod puts a fair bit of leverage on that anchor.
Why does the pack come with 12 studs?
GrovTec sells the GTHM60 as a bulk dozen, which is handy for gunsmiths, hobby builders, and anyone outfitting more than one rifle. Most single builds only need one or two, so a 12-pack keeps spares on the bench for future projects and repairs.
How do I install a wood screw swivel stud without splitting the stock?
Drill a correctly sized pilot hole first, then thread the stud in and snug it down. A pilot hole that's too small risks cracking the wood, while one that's too large won't hold under sling tension. Take your time matching the bit to the screw and it seats cleanly.
