Help? Simple question savage 111

[Luda]

Hi, I recently bought a savage 111 in 30-06 with removable box magazine. Synthetic stock non acutrigger. I took stock of and put in trigger. When I took it a apart a small metal collared washer fell out of one of the action screws I'm not sure where it goes it came from one of the 2 action screws not sure if it goes. I really want to shoot this thing but I want to lock tite screws down and don't want to do this twice thx for any replies!! I did look in savage booklet I got with gun but it wasn't in it. Ps this is a 3 screw stock. Thx guys !

I would check to see if one of the action screws are to long without the washer
I am guessing but I think the factory sometimes uses the washers if an action screw is a bit too long

Take the bolt out, install the action in the stock and tighten down
Then look in and see if the action screws are sticking up above the inside of the action ( where the bolt rides)
If one is up a little, that will be the one the washer goes on

I hope this helps
If I am off base someone will chime in and help out

Ummm....you don't want to lock-tite your action screws dude. Simply tighten them until they're snug, or roughly torqued to 25-35 in-lbs.
