The screw + bushing securing the forend wood to the iron fell out of my IZH-27.
Anyone know of a source?
Alternatively, can anyone provide dimensions? I can learn how to use the local maker shop metal lathe.
The critical dimension would be the length from the flange to the bottom of the T where it touches the forend iron - I don't know if it's supposed to put any tension on the wood.
OD at the top of the T, OD of the reduced diameter section, flange thickness, ID, and countersink diameter couldn't hurt.
Thanks.
The screw securing the takedown latch to the forend iron broke, the now missing screw came loose, and forend wood cracked at the front of the bushing hole. I replaced the broken screw, glued the wood back together, and tightened the now missing screw down to where the Phillips head was camming out but apparently that wasn't tight enough.
