Thank you to VATURKEY (TomT)Loose rear tang screw diagnosis

Post by brushbuster »

I just wanted to shout a big THANKS to Tom at the fox collector booth on Friday.

I was having trouble with my 12 Ga Fox during the event the safety would come back on between shots. When I mentioned this to Tom he mentioned to check that the rear tang screw was tight and that you had to remove the trigger guard to expose the screw.

Well I was giving my 12 Ga Fox a proper cleaning after work and noticed that the top tang was a little proud of the wood where before it was always flush with the wood. I carefully removed the wood screw and rotated the trigger guard and sure enough the rear tang screw was loose.

I tightened her up and now the top tang is once again flush with the wood. I hope this resolves the issue but I'll have the gunsmith check it just in case.

Thanks Tom much appreciated!

Dennis
