    Pics?

    Assume this is the same as a Howa 1500.

    If screw is sheared off flush with the receiver then you could try making a small indent to try and get a suitable flathead screwdriver to bite.

    Either that or drill it out and replace with a larger screw. Spring is very small, could measure mine of need be, but suspect you could find a suitable replacement in a clicky ball point pen.

    Good advice, but not flush unfortunately. Spring probably not an issue. Bolt abou 3mm diameter, gonna bitch to drill, but probably no alternative
