I just purchased my second Mossberg. The first was a 500 pump over 30 years ago. I started collecting .22s with tubular mags recently and the 146B is one I just picked up last week for under $100. The Weaver V22-A scope and T-bolt handle initially drew me to the rifle.
There are a couple things that need to be cleaned up and the trigger guard is in need of repair. The rear screw had been tighten too much and the hole was enlarged beyond the size of the head of the screw. An attempt seems to have been made to then glue the guard to the stock. I have been able to clean the glue residue off the guard with very fine steel wool. I now want to fill the void inside the guard with plastic, epoxy, J.B. Weld, or the like so I can drill a new hole.
My question is if anyone knows what type or plastic was used to make the trigger guards so I can ensure that whatever I use to repair it is compatible.
The iron sights were also removed or never installed when the scope was added. Does anyone know what size (diameter) screws are needed to fill these holes?
