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. Only thing is I can't for certain verify that they even go to my gun because I haven't acquired the action yet. With that said an ADL model is just that right? I was attempting to find the screws location based on what components I have which is a stock Synthetic and it says Rem. Standard short (ADL style with no hinged floor plate) on the inside near the fore end and a ADL trigger guard. Trigger guard has a larger hole in the front and smaller diameter hole in the rear. The screws I have in hand are a Short fat one probably 3/4" in length and a has a slightly larger slotted head and the other is about an 1 1/4" maybe and has a reduced slotted head. The longer one is too long to go in the fore end because it will block the chamber and it can't go in the rear action hole because the trigger guard hole is too small and the shorter screw I can't seem to find where it would fit anywhere.
With this in mind and sorry for being redundant, I call the seller and he wants me to take some measurements and is trying to tell me that Rem has about 4 different screw lengths for what I need. So i could presumably go through 4 sets of screws to find the right ones? He is also wanting me to send back the 2 screws he sent me along with the measurements and pictures of what I am talking about. He says he builds sniper rifles. I am not a smith but am pretty mechanically inclined and can piece this together but it is hard to explain to someone on the phone about what the problem is.
