Loose Browning 625 stock

I've been shooting a Browning 625 as my primary clays gun for about 4 years. About six months after I bought the gun the stock I got some play between the reciever and the stock. I pulled the recoil pad and found an odd nut or fitting used to tighten the stock to the reciever. Took it to a local smith (I know I can send it back to Browning but I shoot almost every weekend) and he fixed it for me. Happened again yesterday. Anybody know the name of the proper tool and where I can buy one? I looked in Brownells and coudn't find it but I'm not sure I'm using the correct teminology

    To MD64- I was 12 years an armorer USMC, doesn't make me a gunsmith, as I don't checker stocks or engrave or have a blueing set-up, but I specialized in building and accurizing rifles for sniper detail, and also had that detail (mostly escorting High-Ranking Officers out of DaNang)- more correctly counter-sniper I guess- this was during "The 'Nam" and my beloved Corps didn't officially open scout/sniper at Quantico (home of the 1000 yard raifle range commonly known as "Death Valley" where we seperate the Distinguished from the Dipsticks real quick. Your gunsmith may confirm this, but whatever size hex head socket (most likely Metric if your Browning was made in Kawasaki-Land) can be TIG welded to a long shank screwdriver- I did the same "field fix" to make my own for the Win. Model 12 shotguns-their buttstock are anchored into a I.D. threaded shank extension that's part of the forged steel receiver rear boss- takes a straight (no Phillips) slot screwdriver, and there is a lock washer- You want to avoid certain grades of locktite here, and also the heavy "Polish Strongarm" so you don't strip the threads- if the threads are "boogered" you are VSF'd here, and should sent it back to Browning for warranty work. Hope this helps, and if I was wrong in

    Hello with recoil pad removed shine a light down the buttstock hole and see if a screw slot or HEX head. Then you might want to get some long 1/4 inch socket wrench extension and the proper BIT/SOCKET to fit this screw along with a 1/4 inch ratchet you should be able to keep this screw tight.
