The second stock screw (reinforcing crossbolt) was approved April, 1917.

Hope this helps.

Pins, bolts, what are you referring to? When you say pins, I'm thinking late Rem'03/early-mid Rem and Smith Corona A3's. John's talking about bolts, or stock screws. Are the "pins" really just a straight pin, or are they threaded like a repair pin, making them a screw, too??

The Remington and Smith-Corona brass stock "pins" were indeed threaded.

(FWIW, the "pin" shown here, bored out of a Remington 03-A3 stock, isn't brass but steel - perhaps with a bit of cadmium plating making it look yellowish.)
