Old 12guage H&R Topper
« on: September 03, 2011, 11:48:01 AM »
Hey there:
 
I have this old gun, good shape, except rear stock is loose, needs tightened. I took plate off butt, and looked in, and it looks like a "stove" bolt for the stock bolt. No nut and/or slot for a screwdriver to get this off. Anyone ever run into this ? I don't have any other ideas, may just have to drill and tap, or drill and use a large screw extractor to back it off and loose. This is a mystery to me, never seen anything like this before on a butt stock.
 
Please help if you can.
 
Thanks and all the best,

Ya just gotta try a 9/16" socket on an extension or a big flat blade screwdriver; sometimes what you think you see down there isnt really what it is. (tip, if you try the screwdriver, split and slip a piece of rubber tubing over the shank to help keep it centered in there).

Unless they made some major mods. I don't think it possible.  A too long bolt will lock things up by itself.
 
I'm thinkin' this has to have a hex or slot as someone has mentioned, perhaps just not readily visible due to dust or such....
