Sailormilan2 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I won an auction on GunBroker for a new manufacture Mauser TG. When it got here, I found it came with the screws and stock spacer. Very good deal for the price. I was surprised to find that both of the screws were hex head screws and each one had a star shaped lock washer installed. Is this something new that commercial Mausers are coming out with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 That how all the recent zastava mausers that I've seen come. Personally I throw the washers away. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyjim Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 i cant think of any reason for them to put star shaped lock washers on a rifle, they are normally used to make a good connection on electrical fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good deal for the price. I was surprised to find that both of the screws were hex head screws and each one had a star shaped lock washer installed. Is this something new that commercial Mausers are coming out with? I would ditch the washers but save the screws. I like the hex screws and have been replceing the old screws with hex screws from B-Square. I have never had an action srew work loose, so I don't keep the lock screws on the old ones. Handy to keep one of the supplied hex wrenches instead of a screwdriver too. Even though I have never needed one after putting the rifle in the stock when everything is done.

Uncle Grinch Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Not trying to be anal, but I think you mean socket head cap screws instead of hex head, which is a common bolt has. Just want to clear up any misunderstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
