I've been looking and can't find exactly what I want, which is the  swivel stud and the grip cap to fit over it, and the swivel stud that replaces one of the pistol fore end screws.
Can I get a set like this, or do I have to buy the pistol grip set with the studs already attached?
**I found the grip swivel, i will just drill a hole in my existing grip cap, and carefully place a wood screw swivel stud in my pistol  fore end .**
Has any one done this? Any tips on where on the fore end to put the stud, toward the front or back?
 My first impulse is to try and guess  just where the stud will not extend through the wood, and go as far forward as possible.

I have the wood forearm.
I found the grip swivel stud on gunbroker, it is on the way. I will just drill a hole in the grip cap to fit over that.
After thinking about it a bit, I decided that I would rather have the front stud on the fore end rather than using a barrel band of some sort, so went for that.
I drilled a pilot hole about 1 1/2" behind the front of the front barrel mount screw hole, so I would have plenty of meat to attach and have plenty of strength.
I think it is going to work out fine.
