Question time again folks, I recently removed the factory scope base from my Axis, and found out, the front most threads of the receiver and the screw were stripped. I just put a little loctite on my new screw anyway and mounted my scope base (iT STILL ENGAGED, BUT WITH LITTLE HESITATION). But now it got me thinking, can I buy a Tap to fix the thread on the receiver, or do I send it back to Savage for warranty repair? I am sure this was stripped from the factory, and not by me...

Thanks
