A square screw?

[Peter Laidler]

In the Armourers shops we had a 'BRACE, Armourers' and a 'BIT, stockbolt'. And I have to confess that in the few years I have been an Armourer with the couple of No1's, 4's, 5's and 8's that I have ever taken apart, not one EVER defeated the Brace and stock bolt bit. To be honest, the whole world would rotate backwards on its axis under the torque you could impart with these things. Nope, never defeated by a tight stock bolt!

Do these tools still come in the 'Armourers basic' set BP/Skippy/Tankie?

Good bit of advice there (see 3 above) regarding the tip of a screwdriver blade Rob. How often do we see screwdrived blades ground down to look like blunt chisels?

I had forgotten to mention that I bought a very long, very stout, square shafted screw driver for taking off buttstocks. The square shaft allows me to use an adjustable spanner to get more leverage. Works a treat.
