I have a new 5R, that hasn't been shot yet. I got a used Bell & Carson stock from a member off the hide here for it but just got a torque wrench and tipton vise to put it on right.
After I torqued it to 65 Inch pounds the bolt wouldn't operate or the safety. Needless to say I've gone over everything I can thing of including removing it from stock, trying it with and without safety on, fired and unfired. I've also tried backing it down from 65 inch pounds to see how low it goes and have gotten down to 35. (and it still locks up)
This operated fine in the original stock for dry firing.
It seems to primarily be the front bolt/screw, if that helps.
any and all suggestions are appreciated, except ones that call for money... ;-)
THIS ABOVE WAS FIXED BY TORQUING WITH BOLT OUT UNTIL TODAY!
<span style="font-weight: bold">NEW PROBLEM OR CONTINUATION!!!
OK, took to the range for break in, loaded and took careful aim only to get a "click" when I pulled the trigger! After trying again 2-3 more times I notice that the bolt is going forward all the way but not locking down all the way. Shells do not have firing pin mark.
Thanks Again

BTW: I've already sold original stock I need to make this work if possible I can't afford another one.
