My fault Stu,

I have seen these with a fairly large square peg extending down into the stock, obviously helping spread the weight of recoil over a large area. The ones depicted in this thread appear more just to hold the breech -end of the barrel down, like Rick mentions as a tang screw would.
Sorry for the confusion!

Richard.
