Well,
I was wrong also, it is only a small wood screw, not a show stopper till you get another Phil. I took a Knick apart and will post a couple pictures so to better explain. Stan |

I’m including 2 pictures, one of the forend steel and latching mechanism outside of the wood and one picture with everything together again with a picture that looks right like yours Phil.
The bottom end of the screw that you see inside the fore arm is the screw that keeps the spring mechanism in place that applies tension to the lug. Pretty simple operation. The small screw was changed in later guns, Knick and NID’s! |

Phil,
Is this the same Knick you shared last week, serial #4018..? If it is, I believe the forend screw that you’re missing is the one I posted pictures of, a wood screw that is approximately 3/8” in length. So after thinking about this some more, I was looking over a late NID and then decided to check a fairly late Knick, serial # 404…, At some point they moved away from a wood screw and switched to a machine screw while placing a small square piece of metal to serve as a nut. I would assume this was to solve the problem of the small wood screw loosening overtime |
