Hey all,
I recently got a howa 1500 action and I just got a bell and Carlson medalist for it. I fitted the stock up and noticed that the rear action screw was only engaging 2 1/2 turns whilst the front turns in maybe 5 or 6 turns. If I look at the rear screw from the top I can see that there is thread left for it to turn up into. Is this normal? Do I need a longer screw? And if so is it something I can just get from a hardware store or does it need to be specially ordered? Sorry for the question overload Im just confused and whilst I found stuff in the search about short action screws I saw nothing about how to tell if they are too short.
Cheers in advance.
Dean.
