Help with Remington 1187 butt plate screws

JOhnny44 · September 21, 2009, 08:21 PM

Can anyone tell me what type head the butt plate screws on a 1187 have? I thought they were a hex head but have tried every size allen wrench including the half sizes .

Thanks

I don't know for sure but I'll throw out two guesses....

Metric or Torx?

Actually, now that I think about more, I believe that my 870 had straight edge screws in the butt plate, 11-87 might be the same.

Philips if you got something else, was it a used gun and after mkt screws.
I checked two guns.

11-87's have a recoil pad not a butt plate
