    Manners MCS Question!?

    What action screws are you guys using with your Manners MCS? (700 SPS) Received my T4A stock from Manners with no action screws... I couldn't get my old action screws to work.

    Gunsmithing ??? about action screws ADL model rifle

    I won an auction on GunBroker for a set of (3) screws for a Remington Model 700 ADL. I sent payment and received only 2 screws.
