This is the forearm of a over 75 year old 410 shotgun stock. I just noticed that the barrel will rattle a little if you shake it. You can't see it move. Just feel it a little. The brass nut is threaded. The take down screw threads through the brass nut then into the barrel lug. I'm thinking that over 75 years of over tightening the screw has pulled the nut into the wood a little. Is there a way to fix it. Without damaging the nut. I'll never find another. How would the nut come out? Screw out or punch out ?
