SAUER 2002 problem

stef22

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

Contact John Butler of Griffen Hawe Athy Co. Kildare, he should be able to get you a replacement.

Thanks Markhor.
Anybody knows what kind of screw it is ? i guess it actually hold the stock and barrel together , right ?

Many thanks

Thanks RoHunter.
you are right on this , i need a long arm 5 mm allen key to "get" to the screw located inside the forend.

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.
