I have a Model 12 that I can't decide what to do with. Heres the problem. When I got it, it had a metal aluminum spacer on the end of the buttstock under a white line pad. So I bought a Winchester pad from Galazan to put it back to original. But whoever put the gizmo on it used brass inserts and machine screws for the pad screws and they are a little off from the new pad and I can't get the screws down onto the stock to fit it on the gun. So I am going to have to remove at least one of the brass inserts before I can start to work then use one machine screw again and one wooden screw where I remove the insert. What is the best way to get those brass inserts out of the stock? Do they twist out? Or am I going to have to drill them out? They put them in the original holes and I won't be able to get a screw down along side the inserts. And the inserts are just a bit off when I try to use the machine screws with the new pad.
