Does anyone know the size of the screw that goes just in front of the trigger guard of the HW97K? I got a KT stock and when I changed the stock I noticed that the screw was missing.

It's the larger of the 2 trigger guard screws likely an M5 or M6 since the smaller rear is an M4. You can check your front stock screw that's an M5 to see if it's the size.
All else fails you can remove the sction from the stock and unscrew the front trigger guard threaded mounting receptacle and match a screw to it at the Hardware store. Careful theres a washer underneath it.
It's a critical mounting point that yours is missing the screw. If you biught it new contact the dealer. If bought used likely he couldn't get the safety to work properly that's why he probably removed it. Surprised if it's as accurate as it should be though.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the screw that goes just in front of the trigger guard," but I'm pretty sure the rear trigger guard screw is an M4, the front stock screws are M5, and the front trigger guard screw is M6, if that helps at all.

They can all be a little longer than the original Weihrauch screws if you can't find the exact same length at your local hardware store. I ended up getting stainless steel hex-head screws, as they were all our local store carried. They give the gun a nice, unique look, too.

Hi Leo I understand the front are m5. Do you happen to know if they are also 1.0x12mm that fit? Thanks!

One thing I have always done on my springers is to replace the slotted screws with hex head allen screws. Not only do they look better, they are also a better quality screw. The hex head stops the screw heads from getting bunged up like slotted or phillips head screws become. Metris has become so pipular that most hardware stores now carry them..
