Hi Gents!

Just a heads-up to those who are thinking of pillar-bedding their Boyds stocks: I pillar-bedded my stock today and found that the pillar/insert that Boyds installed inside the front action screw is actually only letting the screw turn into the action by about 2-3 threads. The reason being that the collar that the screw head tightens up against is set back quite a bit. It is also considerably shorter than the pillar/insert from the factory stock. I pushed the pillar out of the factory stock, loosely inserted it in the Boyds stock for measurement and fit-up and found that I only had to remove about .020 inch off the top and thus had a ready to go front pillar for the Boyds stock.

Safe shooting!
