Just so everyone knows:
I am not the person that talked with Chris about this
I copied this information from a post a few years back, so I can not take credit, if any is due lol
I am glad that it did get put in the FAQ section and hope it helps

This is very informative, but it only applies to the original Accustock that had a third screw for the Accuwedge. These models are no longer available from the factory. I just called Customer Service asking for a replacement for the Recoil Lug I damaged while trying to remove a smooth barrel nut and they told me that particular recoil lug was intended for the original Accustocks, the new ones no longer use the wedge and therefore they were sending me a NEW Accustock (without the wedge and third screw) and a new recoil lug. No charge. I don't know if the originals are better than the new versions, but I'm not complaining any. :)

Originally, the Accustock had three action screws. That design was changed after only about a year or so. Newer (and hence the vast majority of) Accustocks have only two action screws.

The rear action screw is often hidden under the bottom bolt release button at the front of the trigger guard.

These instructions are still good, but one simply alternates between the two action screws until reaching the desired torque value.

The smaller screw at the rear of the trigger guard is NOT an action screw. It is simply there to hold the trigger guard to the stock. Do not try to tighten it, as it will strip easily.

If that back trigger guard screw gets stripped, the fix is easy. One can simply fill the hole with JB Weld or a similar epoxy. Once the epoxy had fully cured, one can drill a new pilot hole for the screw.
