SAUER 2002 problem

    Hi lads, i have a Sauer 202 and somehow lost the screw located at the front of the stock ( see the pic it will make more sense , the sling is not on it anymore ). Because of that the barrel moves and the rifle shoots where it feels like.
    Anybody knows where to get a replacement ? what kind of screw is it ?
    Thank you

    Good luck with that. Assuming you don't have the original key that came with the gun.

    Had the same issue on my old Sauer. I lost the Allen Key and needed the stock removed to have some work done on the barrel/crown. Could not find an Allen key long enough anywhere. Rang Sauer and they said they don't send out replacement keys. Ended up buying a couple of keys, cutting & welding them, and using it.

    You can try Griffin & Hawe as they were/are the main importer/agent for Sauer. Alternatively go about making your own.

    the longest i found so far is 154 mm ( long arm) but that is not enough
    i can get the set from Garland in the UK but for £45 + postage , Griffin didn't come back to me.
    it looks like it will a DIY job

    It needs to be at least 8-9" long.
