Broken receiver Screw

Posted by Max Close on August 20, 2024, 7:38 am

I have the screw in front of my trigger guard that has broken of. Please advise how to remove remaining screw threads and find a replacement screw. my 16 gauge is a specialty grade if the helps.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Bummer Max. This is a Specialty. Is the broken screw the front trigger plate screw (which will need to be engraved) or the top-lever screw (which will need to be nitre blued)?

This is not something I would personally tackle. If you'd share your location and email I'm sure someone could recommend a smith.

It is the screw just in front of the trigger guard on bottom of the action.

Sorry for any confusion.

We manufacture a replacement top lever retaining screw but your remaining threads would need to be machined out.
