Title: stock screws
Post by: Kernbigo on March 02, 2016, 12:25:48 PM

I have a ruger air hawk which i love great gun, the only problem i have with it is the side stock screws will not remain tight. I have replaced them with allen button heads, blue lock tite, wicking lock tite, and lock nuts in the inside and one still will loosen up. Any more idea's ?

My Diana 34 has star washers under the front stock screws.  I believe the Air Hawk is a Chinese clone of the 34.

Your screws may become loose because the wood under them compresses.  As it compresses over time the screws may loosen less.

Look at Mac1 I think he sells brass screw cups that will help with the problem

These screw cups on a HW97 are spent 9mm pistol shells.

That is a great idea!
