bell and carson stock
 

just bought a bell and carson stock for remington 700, 35 whelen. when i put it together the back screw on the trigger guard will not let the bolt open, i can unscrew it about 3 turns and the bolt works fine. is there a spacer or a shorter screw that shoud have been furnished with the stock? can i get a shorter screw from remington?:sad:

i would call bell and carlson and ask them.might be a common problem. they might have screws or recommend a spacer or maybe a remington part number that you could order a new screw. you could go to the local hardware store and just find a nut and screw down on it then cut off or grind a couple threads off the screw. when you back the nut off it should smooth out the rough spots so you can use your original screw.

thanks for the info, going to have gunsmith take the screw down and order another for the factory stock.
