I have an old winchester 1897 that has the action slide with 3 screws that holds the wood forend on. One of the screw holes is stripped out. I've tried the toothpick trick, aluminum, rebuilding the threads with jb weld, etc.
I have some Locktite Form-a-Thread on the way. I thought about trying a longer screw, but I'm unsure of the thread pitch.
Anyone have experience with, or other ideas to be able to tighten it down but still be able to take it off, if needed, in the future?
