Browning stock technical question

[Sian]

Can someone please tell me what shape the stock bolt end is on a Browning 725.  It's the one with silver action and orange writing just in case they differ somehow.  Tony is going to take Jane's off for some work and wants to get the right tool out ready.  Thank you.

As far as I know they've used slotted and 5mm Allen versions.

It's quite easy to check with a flashlight.

Large slotted screw on my 725 S1, you need a very large screw driver. My stock came loose after a few month from new, just needed tightening, I've heard of the before don't think that do them up tight enough at the factory.

All guns should have the stock tightness checked regularly, especially new ones where the wood and metal haven't perfectly seated down. This is not the same as heavily tightening, which isn't good. After time, the fit will become very good as the wood moulds itself which reduces the chance of vibrating loose. A loose stock will crack quickly.

Jane is having an adjustable stock fitted - its not loose in case you are worried.

Mine was a response to Oldblasters post. Glad Jane is going for a good gunfit after 20 years!

Tony is ecstatic about it.

If it has the factory adjustable comb, it's 5mm, if not, it's slotted for a long screwdriver.
