This is all client-supplied stuff and no paintwork on the exterior, so it is what it is. On the first gun, it's a 300WM plopped into a "railroad tie" sized stock so its not surprising at all that the tang is buried a bit. When I encounter this I finish the tang the same way I do on a Palma Rifle. Machine a clearance feature around the tang and the channel that the bolt runs through.
"Fitty Kal" stuff:
Right after bedding:
Post bedding inlet work. Dern trigger guard screws are too short.
Nobody in town has anything even close so....fire up a spindle and make some.
Rotary broach for the allen key socket:
Warming up some park solution with an induction coil makes quick work of turning a screw black.
