Do you guys increase the diameter of the holes in the stock that the screws go through to attach the floorplate to the action? I seem to remember reading that after you glass bed the stock, you want to run a drill through the holes in the stock to enlarge them so the action screws are, in a sense, free floated. | ||

How large should you enlarge the screw holes? | |||

I have never measured what I do but at a guess the I would have the hole about 1/16" or so bigger in diameter. But even if it was only a few thou that would be OK. I also put a few wraps of masking tape around the screw. The reason being the screws can be out of roud, especially when they have been buffed a few times with a steel buff to remove epoxy. If the screws are out of round then they can be very difficul to get out even though there is release agent on them. | ||
