Why add a cross bolt?
Thanks for looking. I added the cross bolt because part of the wood had cracked, the bridge just behind the recoil lug. Glued it all back in and installed the bolt for strength. Military stocks have the bolt. The sporter did not. Also it did not have the sleeves for the trigger guard screws. This was also a contributing factor to the wood failure. I secured the sleeves in the wood with JB Weld. Hope it does well now. I also shimmed the rear of the mag box. Everything is tight all around the best I could get it. Range outing will tell all.
