try backing off your front action screw and see what happens
Well my new rifle I pulled the action to relieve the stock some and now that it is back in the bolt will not completely close.I must have bumped the bolt from full close when the action was out. What do I have to do now? **** my luck!
try backing off your front action screw and see what happens
I tried that no luck. The bolt goes to horizontal and it will release the firing pin at this location when you pull the trigger, something is keeping the bolt from dropping all the way down.
I originally pulled the action to trim the stock, then decided to clean the action real good since i figured from the factory the oils they use are probably more for corrosion protection than anything else. Then I dropped the action back in the stock and just went snug tight on screws then went to put the bolt in and then ran into this. I had done this plenty of times on Remington700 actions and never had an issue. I figured there is a trick to get it back in now, but I'm stumped and really don't want anything tore up.
A long shot, but I took my bolt apart to find reasons for misfires. Put it back together, and had about same problem. The pin in slot was not positioned right. Just ahead of the bolt handle.
Dang my luck i did torque my scope base and the second screw from the from caused the issue, but the front screw broke off flush when I went to loosen it! So hopefully I will find an ez out small enough tomorrow or a left handed drill bit.
Don't buy those cheap aluminum bases with their chinese screws... Get a Warne steel base with real screws and blue loctite the base to the action as well as the base screws. Then, even if the screws were to fall out, (don't know how that would happen) the base will still stay on...
IT's not "the cheap chinese screws" , quit tightening the screws like they were wheels on a semi.
LIKE LOL Yes for some reason people think they have to be sighter than a frog but tux I use finger nail polish and just snug them up
and never had one come loose.....
Gorilla tight: Tighten the screw until the threads start to smoke and then give the screw two more full turns.
There is no doubt that many of the cheap aluminum scope rings and bases come with screws which are of poor quality. I learned my lesson after the first one I owned, and bought Warne ever since.
That blind hole you refer to goes to the barrel.
depth gauge?
I've used a depth gauge on blind holes too but i know not to mongo blind holes, when the screw stops, stop. But the lackey at the gun shop put the base and rings on to bore sight it since my bore site was broken. My first mistake!
Does anybody know the depth of that front hole about to start drilling again
And your from Texas! OMG!The weaver bases are fine. The screws are fine. I have never used loctite on a screw that small for good reason. The bases come with two short and two long screws, the short ones go to the front. Check you PMS for a deal on a 20moa EGW.
By the sea. Last night I was having multiple 2x's looking at the waves crashing on the beach over a nice fire and watching Texas A&M woop up on OU.
