Does anyone sell the forearm screw cup kits, like Mac1 use to sell ?

Mac1 has them listed, but they are out of stock, like most everything there it seems.

I bought them many years ago to install in my Beeman/Weihrauch air rifles, and may be getting another rifle that would need them.

Maybe no one uses them anymore, and just use a flat washer ?

I always like the look of the brass and the hex head screws were better than the regular slotted screws.



Thanks !
 
 

If you plan on installing them yourself, this is what I use. Get the escutcheons from Brownells and the fasteners of your choice at the local hardware store. I used SS socket head cap screws.

the Ebay ones, you can't seem to see the backs but they do seem to have a front flange that covers the factory wood hole

good bad or other I don't know

Yes, but the brass cups only seem to cover the large hole (for the screw head), not the smaller hole between the rifle's metal action and the wood forearm for the threaded part of the screw.

None of the photos show the backside of the brass screw cup.

The "pilot" that nced mentions is the most important part of the cup that keeps the wood from getting compressed, which is what can cause loose screws.

I understand completely maybe, I will see if I can get a better picture from the seller

the UK Ebay seller I got back to me and said he would send a picture and also said he can make what ever you need so I will do what I can to forward that info here

Yes, a helpful seller is always a good seller... I do like the look of his brass cups once installed.

There is a good post on how to treat a wood stock's screw hole area with super glue to make it harder to compress here:
