Didn’t know that. Thanks much appreciated.

Ya same here man, I ordered from Midwest gun and they sent me to numrich, but I guess they’ve been out of stock since July. That’s kind of why I wanted to restore the screw maybe sand it and re-blue. Just not sure how Same with the stock. I think it’s real wood - it looks like it when I take it off....

Hey thanks, but I made the same mistake.

Everything they have is for the Remington Marlin, I need the pre-2009 Marlin version of that

Hey, Looking for some expert advice, just figured out this is a pre-2009 1895. Haven’t found any of the old screws that I can swap. I looked on a ton of sites. It’s all the Remington version. Anyone know where I can get one? Worst case how to sand then reblue? Any ideas on repairing the stock? Or ho...
