    If I had not seen the broken screw removed by heating and the allen wrench I would not have made the statement. Also
    I must admit that while glass bedding a custom 1903 stock somehow the bedding mix got into the front screw hole in the
    receiver. This locked the front screw into the action, impossible to remove with the stock on the rifle.

    I had to mount the entire rifle on a lathe milling vise and then with a center drill start the hole then slowly drill out the
    front screw
