Please help was shooting today and the grub screw at the back of the trigger guard has come out, it is still in the gun but i am guessing it has to be screwed back in internally as i can't get it out. Is this a job i can do or has it got to go to a gunsmiths. I do not know as this is my first shotgun.post-74664-0-04751200-1432847558_thumb.jpeg

Undo the two pozi drive / Phillips screws from the recoil pad, some times it can help to add a touch of saliva to the end of the screw driver to aid in a bit of slip with the rubber of the pad, then (usually) with a 6mm Allen drive on a long extension bar undo the stock bolt, it's located in the base of the hole covered by the recoil pad.

Slide the stock off keeping the action upright as it were ( tipping it on its side may reveal a loose pin !) then using a correctly fitting 'screw' driver tighten your screw, then reassemble

 

Easy !!

Sorry no pics of the actual screw but you get an idea of what to expect plus as you can see there's a variety of pins some of which could be loose enough to move if you were to lie the action on its side (as it is in this pic) chances are they'll be alright but as long as your aware and look to see if any are loose before tipping it over

This happened to my silver pigeon IV last year. I got my old man to fix it for me, but it isn't a difficult job. Paul 223 has described how to fix, but if - like with my gun - the thread is a bit knackered, it may have to be re-profiled.

I think that is a very bad design, having to take the stock of, would have been better the trigger guard countersunk and a countersuck macine threaded screw from the outside. Looking at the picture how do you get a screwdriver in to tighten it.

John see what your saying but then you'd have another pin on the outside and they never look the nicest.

 

It's easy to get to with a correctly ground screwdriver or turnscrew
