Screws needed for Parker Repro 28 gauge

Carson Eddings · 06-24-2009, 07:12 PM

I removed the butt plate from this gun to have it reblued.

The gunsmith did the work, but failed to return the 4 screws that hold it to
the stock. The top one is larger, and the other 3 are the same size.

Does anyone have a suggestion on where I might go to find them.

Many Thanks, Carson Eddings

You will probably need to have a set made.

May I ask who lost your screws so we may be forewarned?

Try Galazan, but Dean's right; you'll probably have to have them made ($). Yah, what (idiot) gunsmith did that?

Dear Joe,

I got in touch with Galatan and they are shipping me the screws.

Cost was $8.00 plus $5.00 shipping. They are correct size, but without
the engraving on the heads of the screws, which I can get a local gunsmith
to replicate.

Thanks for the tip and happy shooting! http://parkerguns.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

Keep us informed and let us know how much fitting it takes your gunsmith to fit these screws.

They gave you a deal, maybe now they will begin to sell parts we all know they have but wont sell. They also have charged me $10.00 shipping even for a bead sight.

The screws you have coming from Galazan's will require cutting the heads to length, indexing and cutting new slots, engraving and finally blueing. It will probably be expensive - has your "gunsmith" agreed to pay for the finished product?

Dean, you're sure all that's required for skeleton buttplate screws that will go into wood?

Now that you mention it Joe, maybe not. I'm sure I was thinking of all the work that is required for the frame screws so maybe it isn't nearly as involved to fit, index, engrave and blue the SSBP screws.
