Hi,

I was reassembling my Mark II BTV yesterday after adjusting the AccuTrigger, and found that it only takes 25 in-lbs to bend the magazine plate and dent the wood underneath. As you know there are no pillars through the wood, and I was wondering if it would be feasible or recommended to attempt to just bed the plate to give better support when tightening the screws. I'm going to order a new plate, and want to do this right so that I can use a repeatable torque measurement when reassembling the rifle.

Or, any other ideas are welcomed.

Thanks!
