1917 Enfield action inletting screws

I’ve received these, employed them with success and am fully satisfied in their use. They are 1/4” x 30 tpi which would be near impossible to find anywhere else. Thank you.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

A must if you’re glass bedding

I have them for both Springfield’s and Mauser’s. You can tighten down the receiver and release it easily when you’re done

Well made

I use these for inletting 1903s. So much easier than using action screws.

Very useful

I used this set to glass bed a sporterized 1917. As such the takedown screw on my rifle is quite short. It was therefore necessary to shorten the corresponding stockmaker screw to fit but that was the only modification needed. Wear and tear was saved on the original screws and these Forster tools were much handier during the glass bedding process. Given the proliferation of sporters made from military rifles it would seem impossible to make a set that would work with every rifle right out of the box. At the price point here, the investment of these tools is worth it even for one job.
