Sako Quad in Manners Question

[Sportin Wood]

For those of you that put a Sako Quad in a Manners stock, did you have to mill out the side area for the bolt release? When I tighten down theaction screws, it presses on the bolt release, causing the bolt to come sliding out every time I cycle the bolt. Will bedding the action help this out some, as it should rise rise the action up some?

*After posting thsi I checked out the inletting of the stock a little more and saw that the pin thats used to hold the pin into the bolt release was touching the stock. I ground down the pin, but it didnt make much of a difference. I think the inletting may be a bit deep. Hopefully bedding it will rise the action up enough to clear the bolt release.

Hey Stan, It sounds like the stock was not releived correctly for the bolt realease. You should have about .03" clearance below the lever. I just shot you a PM, we will get you taken care of.

If you bed the action it should be down on the rear recoil lug/pins, if you bed it high to give yourself clearance you will not be making full contact on the lug/pins in the stock. Really need the clearance to make it correct.

Thank you

That is some good customer service... hunting down a post and helping a customer. Hard to find these days.

My Quad dropped in perfectly. I'm just trying to save my pennies to get a Manners stock for my CZ453 now.
