I am building a reproduction sniper on a no.4 long branch rifle.
I followed Peter Laidlaws instructions to the letter and all was going swimmingly until I tried to mount the rear pad, I drilled the 4ba screw holes and threaded them encountering some case hardening on the inside of the action but not enough to prevent me from drilling through , threading and not bottoming out the screws.
The 1/4" bsf hole is another story all together, I can't get the hole any deeper than 2/3rds the way through and if I do I am concerned I won't be able to cut the thread.
Anyone have a suggestion where I go from here.
thanks warren
