Changing Model 10 .223 Model 10 into a Stocky's Bobby Hart stock.
Got new longer action screws fitted and discovered the bolt was dragging when it was all snugged up.
Inspection revealed it was the little clip at the rear of the magazine was the culprit.
So, removed the clip and snugged everything up and it runs fine. The magazine is a very tight fit in the blind stock recess.
The cause of this may be the rear pillar which is a couple of MM proud of the wood when fully seated.



Figure its best to ask before modifying anything. As I see it my options here are:
1) Just use it without the clip.
2) Grind the pillar flush and try the clip again.
3) Pound the pillar down flush and try the clip again.
or,
4) Take it to an expert (?) to have it glass bedded.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!
