Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place for the tooic, but here goes....
I inherited a Miroku O&U shotgun from my grandpa. He loved firearms, but did not have the necesarry finess todothe finer works ona firearm... Any case, I got the gun, stripped the shallack and did a London oil stock finish on it. My trigger guard is supposed to be held in place with 2 but plate screws, but currently 2 normal woodscrews are doing the job... :-( I am in desperate need of 2 screws and no ons seems to be able to hep me. I was at Safari Outdoor, stock maker next to Parow arms, ohoned City guns and Hugo van Zyl Sports but no one seems to be able to help me... Where can I buy these screws? They need to be 20-25mm long, 4mm shank, counter sunk single slot rounded head @ 7mm diameter.... Any halp would be appreciated. Thanx

Have you compared them to military 303 butt plate screws? It sounds like they might fit and should be available.

Hi Ds J

I have attached a photo of what I think it should look like... The originals' heads were so damaged I did not think of keeping them.... Lesson learned. Where does one go and buy them, do you know perhaps?

Thanx a million

Ask some local gun smiths. Most have a tray of old 303 goodies. Or some of the 303 aficionados might be able to help. You could ask Daan here on the forum.

Thank you for that. Does Daan have a surname, usename or email address perhaps so I can contact the correct Daan?
