I recently acquired an Enfield No5 Mk1 "Jungle Carbine" suffering from a relatively mild case of bubbafication. In this case, the original sling loops had been removed (the back loop by bending off with a pair of pliers, ouch!) and quick-detach swivels added.
I plan to return it to original configuration, and am wondering the best way to patch the holes made by the swivel screws. My options, as I see them are:
Recommendations, anyone?

- glue or wedge in hardwood dowels/splinters and cut flush
- Like #2, but drill out the holes first
