Anyone aware of the type of wood screw (i. e. #10 wood screw x 1") used for fastening the buttplate to the stock of an 870 WingMaster... vintage 1980 ?
I am replacing a missing butt plate with a 'Limb Saver' unit, however the gun is also missing the screws.
Thanks, KMD Canada

Sorry about the late reply.
I haven't removed the screws from my 870 but it's been my experience with other Remington arms that butt plate screws are a different animal as they do not seem to fit into the standard wood screw system.

I think even the "heavy frame" 20 gauges had them back then, too. Mine from 1970 to the late 70s have them.

Buttplate? I thought all 12 gauge 870s had recoil pads as "standard" equipment from about 1967 or 1968 forward. That's what my old 1968 catalog says.kestrel wrote:Anyone aware of the type of wood screw (i. e. #10 wood screw x 1") used for fastening the buttplate to the stock of an 870 WingMaster... vintage 1980 ?

Recoil pads only on Magnums and target models until 1968, and after that all came standard with recoil pads except the 28 and 410 I believe. He may have just misspoken, and back then you could order about anything you wanted.
What could have happened... did.
