Savage w/CDI BM action screws

[tacticalpanda]

I just got my stock back from CDI and everything looks great. The screw they sent was a bit to long and when I was filing it down I lost the front action screw. I looked for hours and can't figure out where it went. Well anyhow does anyone know what screw I should get to replace it? Also recommendation for the rear stock screw (the one behind the trigger guard).

Thread pitch is 1/4 x 28. Hit up Jeff and he can send you one or places like Midway sell them for a few bucks.

As Hawk45 mentions, it's a 1/4-28 screw, but they're nothing special. Just a socket head cap screw (SHCS) you can get at most any hardware store for 30 cents or so.

The rear screw is a #10 course thread (also a SHCS), though I personally prefer to epoxy a threaded insert (also available at hardware stores) into the stock and use a fine thread SHCS instead. If you don't, the course threads going directly into the glass stock will eventually strip out.

The insert I get is made of brass, and is both internally and externally threaded, and has a cross-slot in one end so you can drive it in with a screwdriver. I drill/tap the stock, dope up the threaded insert with some epoxy, and drive it in with a regular screwdriver. It's about as easy as eating popcorn, and will last forever.

Thanks guys. And thanks turbo for the info about the the threaded insert. Going to pick one them up today.
