I have a WBP Fox AKM with a Boyd's laminate stock set. The screw in the butt stock will tighten up just fine but after only a few magazines it gets very loose. No matter how often I tighten or how tight, it still comes loose. How do I get this thing to stay tight? Wood glue? Shove some wood matchsticks in the hole? Has anyone successfully solved this type of issue before?

The stock itself should fit snugly into the receiver. If 5here is wiggle room before you put the screw in, it will never stay tight.
