Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Here is a better view of my replacement for the forend hanger screw on the Ruger No.1
which I did because the original slotted head screw got stripped and bent
by keeping a firm grip on the forearm during lots of shooting, including 500-grainers at +2400 fps:



The hardware used was the sliding ferrule from the CZ 550 Magnum barrel recoil lug contraption, from a take-off barrel,
and high-quality socket screw.
Forearm was full contact bedded to action and barrel except for the cut-out for the hanger arm.
My accurizing and strengthening method could be done to a walnut or laminated stock also.
BTW, the quarter rib was also removed and re-attached with J-B Weld.
J-B Weld, original formula, was used for all glass bedding and refinements,
including the Schnabel Blobbel with inset, black paint and clear epoxy overlay.
A labor of love for your rifle.

From the previous shot, the above screw was replaced with stainless screw and a washer added under the socket head:



... screw length might be perfect as found or need trimming to length, parts is parts.
