    Front screws to long....


    I have a single piece mount, weaver tactical, and the front screws are a tad long. i dont have a grinder, so has anyone used washers to shorten them.

    Have you tried just cutting shorter? don't have much experience in cutting mounting screws

    My son walked in a few minutes a go and he has a dremel he says will work. So tuesday we put it together.

    Do you have the front and rear screws switched?

    My thoughts exactly. Try a file if not, go a little at a time, you can never put back what you cut off.

    It turned out that all four were too long. The dremel worked fine. The package was for a model 10 savage but who knows. The mount is on and saturday we will take it shooting. The sharping stone in pinch would be a possibility.
