stock reinforcing screw

[Peter Laidler]

I would dispute that the hole in the fore-end is countersunk. I say that it if flat based - exactly as the screw and nuts are. I could be wrong of course......

So some fitting for the original tie screw is required possibly due to the age of the forend & changes in the wood. Sounds like the proposal for using a flat cutting tool (Steves & WP post) to increase the depth of the flat-bottom hole (as Peter noted) will do the job.

Sink the hole deeper with a Forstner bit so the bolt and screw are countersunk. There, fixed the wording.
