They should be all the same, I think Numrichs still sells the ones that have the slingstud on the ends of them.
If they don't find savparts on Ebay, he'll have them.
Are all Model 99 forend screws the same? Is there a suitable substitute? I'm re-stocking my '56 Model 99F and noticed that the slot for the screwdriver was cut off center. This seems like such a simple part, and I always like to have spares for my simple parts.
Years ago I had a gunsmith cut the head off the forend screw of my 99E and weld a sling swivel stud onto it so that the forend "screw" also holds the sling. At the time it seemed like a bright idea, but now I wonder if it was a good thing to do. It does seem to bear the weight well. Any opinions on this?
