Richard, the one I have has a 3/16th shaft that is 10" long. The blade was originally 1/4" before I ground it down to 1/8". There is one that is similar in APSCO pg. 22 #15410. The one I have came from an industrial tool store. They are called "cabinet" s/d's. > What do you mean fits in the hole of a screw inserter? APSCO #16185 pg. 8 They call it a "screw holder". It has a tube in the middle of the top through which I insert this screwdriver to start hammer flange screws in the action rail. That way you don't lose screws in the action. You turn it in snug enough to keep it from falling out at whatever angle you can get it in the hole, then remove the holder and use your regular s/d to gently back the screw until it centers then snug it up. On most actions, if you have the action in a cradle, you can remove the spring rail through one end to get it out of the way. When you put it back orient the springs so they point straight up then turn them into position after you have it all the way in. Good luck, Warren -- Home of the Humor List Warren D.
