Need part for Stevens 20 guage

[Solidus-snake]

My dad has a Stevens Model 940 20ga single shot that belonged to his father that I am needing a part for.

I have scoured every place I can and dont know where else to look. All im looking for is a screw that attaches the forearm to the gun. The one in its stripped on the end and so, the forearm has electric tape holding it on.

Anyone know where to look or who to email? Its such a simple part surely I can find one somewhere...

Have you tried Numrich?

I just looked at Numrich website.
They have a forearm screw for $1.45.
It's not illustrated, but listed.

I'm betting that if you go to a store like Fastenall that you can find a screw that works. Unless I'm missing something, as long as the length, diameter and threading is a match you should be good to go.

Good suggestion.
I'm wondering if the head of the screw is large or small. I've seen some large head forearm screws on shotguns.
