please help
I just recieved an HS Precision stock for my Rem700LH rifles.The front screw that came with the stock is too long and prevents the bolt from turning.The factory screws seem a bit short.I could use washers under the bottom metal but that pushes the bottom metal so that its not flush with the bottom of the stock. What sould I do?

place the screw into soft jaws in a vice, take a fine junior hacksaw and cut off at a length in between the long screw and the one that you say is too short, take a smooth file and rotate around the cut edge to take away the buur and to put a small chamfer around the new lead thread and there you go, of course if you have access top a lathe, even better.

Don't worry there is nothing in gun lore to say you can't do simple jobs like these yourself at home with basic kit
