Update on Boyd At One stock

[Pokinfun]

I had a similar issue with a laminate stock, on a Ruger M77. mine the bottom metal was recessed to much, not allowing the trap door to close. I used some thin brass shims to get a proper fit.
On a stocky's long range stock, the front mounting bolt was a hair too long. When I torqued it down, the bolt would no longer close. I had to use a course stone to sand off the end of the mounting bolt.

It is a good looking stock, and laminates are known for their stability and stiffness. Little problems while fitting such a stock are just par for the course.

Take the bolt down to the local hardware store (so they can gauge the thread size/pitch) and see what is available in replacement bolts.

That's what I would recommend. My hardware store guys are awesome at hooKing ya up (Sanders Hardware in Lawton)!!!!!
SHAMELESS PLUG

Yeah, the fitting wouldn't bother me much. I'd rather it come a little tight and have to file/sand to fit than arrive too loose and not be able to do anything.

Man has a point right here.

Had to put the project on hold for a while.
Good news though. I learned to speak Wife!
It's a very hard language to master, but over time I've picked up a little here and a little there.
Today I think I found the Rosetta stone of key words.
Told the wife I wast thinking about taking a couple hours off work this morning.
Wife said "that's a great idea. Just piddle around and rest. You deserve it".
In wife speak this means:
"That's a great idea and now you can mow the lawn, weedeat, leaf blow, clean out the garage and move some of my stuff to the tool shed".
Man, with these key words I can really get a handle on Wife Speak and maybe come to a point where I can manage conversational Wife Speak.

Got an email from Boyd Customer service and they had sent a new, longer, screw out this morning. That's good CS.
Might put a polished metal bi-pod on the front of this to dress it up as well as a shiny titanium bolt cover. Looking at a polished steel tac bolt.
I know it's going to shoot like it shoots, but why not. It's going to look as cool as I can make it even if it don't improve accuracy.
I'll just learn to shoot better behind something nice and pretty. Ha!

I always shoot better behind a beauty.

I may not shoot better behind a beauty, but I darn sure concentrate more.

My wife tries that so I do exactly what was said.
You say relax? I'm gonna relax. Don't get mad, just say what you mean next time.
I don't play those stupid games.
