S&W 3000 Stock bolt.

[ccrobbins]

I am having trouble getting the bolt for a 3000 pump gun that attaches the stock to the receiver. I ordered one from e-gunparts but it's about 3/4 inch to short. The main problem is it's metric. I know it's 8mm x 1.25 but I am having trouble locating one that is long enough.


Any thoughts?

Have you tried Jack First, Numrich (Gun Parts Corp.) or have you looked for a crappy example you can buy cheap to use for parts?

If you can't find that stock bolt at any of the gun parts companies, try getting one made. A gunsmith or machinist should be able to do that at a reasonable cost. You also might be able to make one from 8mm x 1.25 threaded rod. The threaded rod is available in 1 meter lengths at Fastenal-and probably at other industrial supply stores.

CC,

Just today, I had the same problem. I ordered a wood stock and stock bolt for the Model 3000 from Gunparts and the bolt was too short just like yours. I took a 1" wood boring bit and deepened the hole in the stock by about an inch so the bolt and washer would seat further down the hole. It worked perfectly and you can use the short bolt you got from Gunparts. Hope this helps.

CC,
Is your stock the factory wood, Choate plastic or the speedwell stock. The speed well stock needed a longer bolt than the one used for the factory wood stock.

Hi guys, this is my first post. Awesome forum.

Can anyone tell me how to get to the stock bolt on the model 3000 pump shotgun? I've had mine for 28 years (received it new at age 15 and the stock is a bit loose. Noticed it yesterday on a day-long dove hunt.

I've got the shotgun disassembled but don't know where the bolt is. The stock has a glued on factory rubber recoil pad and then the S&W plastic logo cap is on the bottom of the stock. Do I need to remove the recoil pad?

THANKS!

The recoil pad should be screwed on.
Do you see two tiny holes in the recoil pad?
You need to insert a philips head screwdriver into the holes to unscrew and remove the pad.

Thanks a million, ServiceGun. Took my near-sighted prescription glasses off and put my nose up to the recoil pad and YES.....there are the tiny indentations for the pad screws. Can't believe I didn't notice those before. Stock is all tightened up and I'm good to go. Many thanks, sir for the advice. And thanks, WEG, for the exploded view. Makes total sense now. Enjoy your labor day.
