I’ve owned my Marlin 336 30-30 bought new for about 6 years. I removed the butt stock for the first time. When I pulled the stock off, there was a thin piece of white plastic laying loose and unsecured on the lower part of the metal located near the lower screw hole for the tang screw. It has a hole in it seemingly for the tang screw to pass through.
This piece of plastic is not in any of the YouTube disassembly/reassembly videos that I have seen, or in the owners manual
What is it? What purpose does it serve? Is it necessary?
The plastic piece was loose and unsecured. With the necessary moving of the stock to fit it back in place, I think it will be very hard to reinsert in a way that it will stay in place so the tang screw will pass through its hole. Can’t I simply not replace it? If not, should I try to glue it in place?
