    Is there any way to dimple the front and rear trigger screw heads on my A5 12 gauge. I received new ones from Browning and they said they have to be installed by an authorized dealer. Any help appreciated.

    It looks like the screw head has to have a half moon shaped dimple machined into it so that the lock screw head fits down on it, locking it. Could a machine shop do this on this small a scale?

    Most likely they could. Or you could get your files out.

    Where would you get files that small? Gunsmith tools?

    If it were mine, I’d take it to a jeweler. Jewelers do precision work all the time. In fact, one who is a friend made an unobtainable shotgun part for me. This would be easy. Mark where you want it, and bring both the Trigger Plate screws and the lock screws. He’ll also need the distance between centers — maybe you should bring the whole receiver. Remember the screws don’t have to be very tight, that’s the the lock screws’ job.
