I always shoot better behind a beauty.

My wife says the same thing about me.

Did you get this put together yet?

Page 3 has pictures of the mostly finished product. Have to do some additional sanding to the mag well for the perfect fit.
Wish someone make an adapter to put a 10 round mag with a rear vertical release like the Savage 10 but oh well.
Tell me what you think.

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.

Most hardware stores don't carry the oddball thread/bolt combo's that guns use, (5-40 etc)BUT, our local Ace Hardware just put out a Bolt Bin of those gun style bolts and thread combo's after we asked them. If you don't find them, ask your store to stock them.

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.

Quit being a hard ass.

I got the front take down screw to fit after I sanded mag catch. I had contacted Boyds before I did the sanding (stupid on my part) and they sent out a longer screw at no charge. I contacted them and it was already sent. MY BAD but thanks to Boyd customer service for being on it like glue.

It is pretty.

Someone posted on another forum that the size of the bolt was 1/4-20. Nothing hard to find there. 4s, 5s, and 6s are usually for scope mounts and such, and they are a rather an uncommon size.

Forward mag catch not quite catching latch. Sanded down the mag well and mag fit is perfect except for the fore catch needing a small amount of reduction.
Got an idea . Went by hardware store and picked up two large washers (with the correct sized screw hole) that I will grind down to match the plastic catch provided by Boyds.
Top washer will match the catch and the bottom one I will cut off a bit and that should give it a perfect fit to catch the latch.
Plus I get rid of the plastic.
Have it crudely cut down in the shape of the catch (rounded on one end and flat on the catch side with screw hole). Put nut and bold in washers to keep it solid mark cuts.
This will be fun to do.
