870 Police Sling Stud?
Hello all! I recently switched the wood furniture of my 870 Police over to polymer furniture. I got the Remington made factory polymer stock set meant for the 870 Police. I have a question though, it came with the sling stud for the buttstock separate. It had a hole in the stock already so I just screwed the sling stud in with my hands and a used a cheater bar to tighten it down all the way.
Is this the correct installation of the sling stud? I assumed the stud was "self tapping" and did not use a drill. Will it come out? Thanks for the help! |

It will come out if you keep turning it counter clockwise!

Yes, but did I install it properly?

While it wouldn't be worth it to redo it now, adding epoxy to the threads the next time you do something similar with a synthetic stock will remove your worries and let you sleep better.
