Hey all,
Thanks to all the reviews and input from you guys, I bought a Savage 10 PC. Got it last week and just got an EGW rail to put on top of it.
I went to install it today and hit an odd snag. This seems really familiar, but I can't place where I have seen/heard this before and what the resolution is.
I installed all the screws, blue loc-tite (242) and torqued to 20 in/lb.
I was gunna let it sit overnight before touching it to let the loctite fully set, but then decided I should pop the bolt back in.
I pop it in, slide it all the way closed, and alas... cannot rotate the handle all the way down!
I pull it back out and remove/replace each screw individually and find its one of the forward screws.
3rd screw from the butt-stock end.
If I loosen it out about 1/2 way the bolt will seat and close, but any tighter than that and it won't rotate all the way shut.
So, the question is, do I leave the screw off? Do I shave it down or buy a shorter one from the hardware store? or what???
Any input appreciated!
