Frequently Asked Questions

How do you fix a stripped magazine cap screw on a Savage Model 67?

To fix a stripped magazine cap screw on a Savage Model 67, you'll need to acquire a new cap and screw, often found on eBay. Ensure the new cap's notch aligns with the internal key of the magazine tube. After installation, apply Loctite to the screw to prevent it from loosening during use.

What is the correct way to shorten a shotgun stock?

When shortening a shotgun stock, it's crucial to maintain the original angle relative to the receiver. Measure and mark the desired length, ensuring your tape measure is aligned straight with the receiver, not following the stock's existing curve. This ensures consistent shooting dynamics and accuracy after the modification.

How do you fit a butt pad to a shortened shotgun stock?

After shortening a shotgun stock, the original butt pad may no longer fit correctly. Use the butt pad as a template to mark new screw hole locations on the shortened stock. Drill these holes and then carefully sand down any excess material on the stock or butt pad to achieve a flush fit.

What is the magazine capacity of a Savage Model 67?

The Savage Model 67 pump-action shotgun has a magazine capacity of four rounds in the tube and one round in the chamber, for a total of five rounds. This capacity is typical for many pump-action shotguns of its era.
