Need help with a Winchester part

dcso3009

We are gearing up for deer season and have a problem with 2 of our rifles. Both are Winchester Mod 100 in 308 win. The front screw went missing on one of them last year. The same screw was removed from the second one in attempt to have another one made. Now the second has been lost and we have 2 rifles out of commission.

My question/request/plea is that someone has some of these laying around that they are willing to part with, or can get me accurate measurements to have some made.

I have checked with the guys on the wanted forum with no luck. Some of you may have seen this before... I will also put this in the GD forum.

Thanks
Joe

Are you talking about the forend screw? Rifle or Carbine?

I've had the same problem and had to replace the screw with a non original Winchester screw. Only problem is that I couldn't find one long enough to use the sling swivel with, but at least the rifle was put back in action. Send me an email if you want to know the size, thread, and length.

These are both rifles, and yes it is the forend screw that is missing. Thanks

My book with different screw sizes doesn't have the model 100 in it. Sorry. I did send an email to Brownell's. Maybe they will know.

Just saw 41nut's response. Check with him on the size. If I hear from Brownell's, I'll let you know.

Once you get the screws use some Loctite on the threads.
