Thanks everyone. I had questions on the Brownell stock repair pins. They are 3/32" diameter and have a very fine thread full length except for the end that you chuck into a power screw driver. Brownell suggests that you also dip the pin into acraglas before screwing into place. I used them on this repair because of the threaded feature for extra measure.
Once screwed into place the protruding end is easily snipped off almost flush using diagonal cutting pliers and then can be filed flush, or in my example I set up the stock on my milling machine and after locating each center, slightly counterbored with a 1/8" end mill. Art's reply got me to thinking; when I get time I may just recut/touch the counterbores, fill with color matched acraglas and see how that looks before doing matching walnut plugs.
