rimmie Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi all, so I've just bought a thumb hole stock for my Annie 1517 .17 HMR. I have it a quick rub with walnut oil, and proceded to fit the action to the stock BUT on fitting the action and tightening the screws, the action sits to low in the stock, it sits so low it stops the trigger firing and the bolt from cycling !!! Also the bolt release catch on the left side of the action can't be pushed forward. The barrel touches the stock also, so I've cut some plastic "packers" and had a play, well I've got it sitting higher and the barrel free floating, with an even space on either side of the barrel. The trouble is there's a bigger gap down the left side of the action,and you can see the left packer,the right side fits flush. It's not a massive deal,and it looks far worse than it is,as I zoomed in taking the pictures, but it bothers me, so what's the solution ? Just deal with it, send the stock back (I don't think it's been inletted properly) or have it bedded ? Any suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 If it doesn`t do what you want it to, or it is a badly fitted stock. Take it Back.. Not fit for purpose I believe the word is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
