Hello Everyone,

Newbie here. I apologize if I am not doing this right. Please point me in the right direction if I am off base.

I will make my question quick, because I don't want to overwhelm you with detail- but I can if you want or need it!

Last year I picked up a 1960 JP Sauer & Sohn Model 60 Deluxe SxS, which is based on the Anson & Deeley boxlock action, without the Greenley cross bolt or cocking indicators.

In terms of removing the stock, there is only one screw/bolt head visible: the one holding the trigger guard in place, underneath at the rear of the trigger guard.

The question: is this a wood screw, holding the guard in place, or is it a metal screw, holding the guard to the lower frame tang?

Thank you


Classic 'field' SxS's are what draw me in- that way I can have more than one!
