I finally got in the A5 that I ordered for my aac-sd from thirdgenshootersupply. Not sure if im sold on the stock yet or not. It feels comfortable, but I didn't know sniper fill was so damn heavy. Anyway, Im having trouble getting my action installed properly. My stock is inletted for a Remington short action bdl. I get the action in the stock, and when I torque down on the action screws, the bolt will go back into the chamber but will not close. Am I missing something?
 
Your screws probably need to be trimmed back. See if you can see them sticking up through the action. If you can you need to file or sand them down a few threads.
 
^^^all of the above. Like Huckelberry said, make sure you are using the right screws. They are a different length for the front and rear of the action.
 
The "sniper fill" is just a more solid glass in the action area only and is only adding about 4 or 5 ounces to the stocks weight. Yes, trim your front guard screw until you cannot feel it protude above the raceway in the action.
 
I had to shorten my front action screw by about 1/16", as well.
