Peter, I followed your directions and it worked out perfectly. Thank you! I will wait and see if this needs done to the other one once the weather gets warmer and I can degrease and treat the stock with BLO.
Just out of curiosity, how tight do you tighten the cross screw at the rear of the fore end? I looked in the Canadianmanual in the technical knowledge base section and it doesn't mention it. Thanks!
