Gunsmithing B&C stock fitment issues

[saleen308]

Is it common for these to have fitment issues? I just picked up my Howa 1500 308 action and the back bolt doesn't want to line up.

You sure its the right stock for your rifle? I would call them, they have pretty good customer service!

I think I'm OK.

I pushed the barrel back and screws lined up. We were in a bit of hurry to bolt it up at my FFL and it didn't just line up immdiately. The bolt opens and closes fine so might be a false alarm. I'm able to slide a piece of paper all the way down to the action to confirm the free float.

Good. Consider a good bedding job if you aren't getting the accuracy you want. The howa is a great action.
