Forster Sako Stockmakers Hand Screws are a set of two precision-made screws for the final, accurate fitting of a stock to a Sako action (Forster part no. SMSAKO). They are hardened so a stockmaker can run repeated trial fittings without damaging the guard screws or the stock. Forster, the Lanark, Illinois toolmaker, lists this set for Sako models except the Model 75. Anyone inletting a blank or bedding a rifle stock will find them far gentler on the work than the original guard screws.
