Want to take out carrier screws on older Win 32 Special,but unlike new 94's the head of screw is inside the reciever instead of outside.Does someone make a screwdriver that will make a 90degree turn that will fit in a small area? please help!!

Your not looking at the carrier screws, those are most likely the shell guide screws. The carrier is nearly solid where the screws enter and inside screw heads would be nearly inpossible. The screws that are from the inside to the outside retain the cartridge guides. They are usually set a bit and cantankerous to remove and yea there are screw drivers that make 90 degree turns! Most hardware stores will carry something.. The one I use is actually a small ratchet that a Brownells screwdriver bit fits into. I would not reccomend removing those screws unless really necessary...

GunNut69 thanks for reply.The reason I need to take right side guide off is the back side is bowed out a little bit and shells are not popping up right.If I work the lever just right it will pop up a shell.I bid on some parts for this levergun,now I will have to track down the right screwdriver.Thanks again

Offset screw drivers and ratchets for 3/8 bits are available at sears I believe as well as Brownells... How did the shell guide get bent? Just curious I suppose but unless it's out of the gun it's pretty well protected.. Those screws are sometimes hard to get started, even saw some that were staked!! Be sure the screwdriver bit fits really tight and apply pressure to keep it from camming out of the slot. Good luck!
