Can someone give me the dimensions for the slotted blade that fits the
stock bolt?

Its better to get the right tool for the job, and note that the 870
and 1100 are different.

I've used a draglink bit for this, but usually an 8-point or 12-point
regular socket is better. I have yet to see a stock bolt with a round
head, always have been square or hex heads. I have a regular kit in
the gunsmith box, a couple of 3/8" extensions with a T-handle and
3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" 8- and 12-point sockets plus the draglink bit. I
have yet to find something that it wouldn't take down.

I use the largest Sears Craftsman screwdriver that my father left me.
It has a square shaft that you can put a small adjustable wrench on.
That really helps increase the torque. I know that the shape of the
blade is not optimal, but I still have not buggered up the screw too
much. I prefer the plain walnut stock, my wife prefers the shorter,
adjustable drop stock we found used in a gun store up in Vermont. I've
just learned to live with the shorter stock.

The bolt on my 870 looks like this:
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/524594/remington-stock-bolt-870-12-16-gaug=
e-1-4-28-thread
It's got a round head with a slot. I wish mine had a hex or square
head. It would make changing the stock much easier.

Im an "old timer"....and have a lug wrench hanging on the wall in the
hobby shop just for this. <Grin>.
You youngins...always doing things the hard way.....lol
Course I do have a nice BIG square shanked Craftsman screwdriver and a
crescent wrench beside it to turn stock bolts....but...I started off
with a lug wrench...and still use it now and again. In fact..I used it
last weekend to pull the buttstock on a SMLE <Grin>

Good for ya! I am just amazed by how quickly people turn to posting to a
usenet newsgroup when a moment of examination would answer their question.
Good lord - is there any self-sufficiency left in this world? And this on a
guns newsgroup...

Trust Remlington to make 'em cheaper. In which case, the draglink bit
comes into play. If you haven't seen one, it's just a giant flat bit
with a square socket on the other end to fit the extension. Have seen
ones for 1/2 and 3/8, none for 1/4" drive. Not even sure if Sears has
them anymore, that's where mine came from. Before I got that, I
borrowed a big screwdriver my dad had inherited from my granddad,
about 2' long with a handle to match.
