GUNSMITHING SERVICES: Receiver guard screw restoration/alteration

Description

This service is for restoring or converting an action’s guard screws to the 1/4-28 size thread pitch most commonly used by domestic bolt-action receiver manufacturers.

Shown is a Mauser action being converted from the original 1/4-22, 55 degree Whitworth thread to 1/4-28 threads.  This was for convenience because a 1/4-28 screw is offered with a broad variety of drive styles.  (Allen, Torx, Ribe, etc. . .)

This service ranges in complexity since parts come to us in a variety of ways.  Some of our repair methods include:

• Drill and tap to the larger size
• Weld/braze the hole closed and start over
• Bore, tap, and install a thread repair coil 

NOTES: 

• This is a service that relies on welding, brazing, and machine work.  It is a certainty that we will alter the appearance of your action.  LRI will not accept any liability for damage for any reason.   
• Titanium receivers are repairable here.  This includes almost any required welding.  LRI has the skill sets and equipment to weld Titanium.  (additional costs may be incurred)
• Also, please note that return shipping charges are determined and billed once a job is boxed and ready for departure.  Work is often sent to us in a gun case.  It’s impossible to know what return shipping costs will be.
