Winchester 1897 Cartridge Guide Screw replacement

Hi All,

Live in Sweden and recently bought a Winchester 1897 pump-action shotgun (takedown version).

While cleaning I managed to drop the Cartridge Guide Screw which cannot be replaced here in Sweden (the 97 is ultra-rare here, and due to customs laws I cannot order one online from the US).

Is there a commercially available screw with the same threading that can be filed down in length? I am not too concerened with aesthetic, just want my gun to cycle…

Appreciate any insights!

Hi Max, Welcome to the WACA forum!

I am sure some of the 1897 experts will be along shortly to assist you.
