I just finished sanding the rear of my stock to create space below the tang on my Model 110 in .30-06 rifle (Ser. No F6688xxx), and upon reassembly, I found that if I firmly tighten the forward screw (next to the recoil lug) it will project just far enough into the receiver to bottom out against the bolt lug or, if assembled without the bolt in place will stop the bolt from rotating to the end of its travel.

Clearly this is unsatisfactory.

Is the best solution to grind down the end of the forward bolt just enough to clear the Bolt Lug, and then what would be the proper amount of torque to tighten the bolt? Should the rear receiver bolt be tightened to the same value?

Another alternative would be to put a washer between the receiver and the stock, but I'm afraid that this would affect the line up with the stock.
