How available is a regular 12", slot, screw driver? That's all I've ever used. Helps if it has a hexagonal shaft.
I tried that, if you read back you will see i already tried screwdriver with spanner on shaft.
Will be OK to release a normal bolt but this was welded home.
Normal screwdriver heads aren't really wide enough. The screw slot is 18mm wide.
He doesn't, he just reads the OP question and hits reply. Never mind.Quote:

Yes, maybe hard to match, maybe markings are there...so this is where we are. You aren't going to be able to tighten it up, you have to do something like post 50 suggests. Not really any choice...
Thats ok, i am happy to shim it... No way im getting rid of the nice tiger strip walnut. Too much character.
Instead of paper to pack out a loose fitting butt, better to use a strip of oil resistant gasket material. We actually used the material used for cutting stencils. Some of you might have noticed it under handguard bands etc. A pale yellow-brown thick oil resistant card
Brilliant Peter!!
Never thought of that, i guess over time oil will make paper deteriorate and become loose again. This is a great solution.
Just brought a pack, has 0.1mm to 1.2mm!
That's why I didn't say it then. I figured you'd not hear that...Quote:

I had to make stencils once for a quartermaster, one of my first jobs in the army as a young soldier. That's the material I had pictured too...Quote:
