stock is a factory Remington BDL Black composite free float, even tried only tightening the forward screw only , still locks it up

 

There are two different length front action screws, as I've found doing an ADL-to-BDL conversion myself. Some of the "action screw sets" off eBay contain the longer screw. The shorter screw won't bind the action, but the longer screw interferes with bolt rotation. You just need to source a shorter screw.

yea the fellas at The Snipers Hide forum helped me yesterday , i had ground down the screw because it was not seating in the trigger gurd , i just sis not grind enough , i was not aware the screw hole went all the way through

so i just nibbled some more , all is good now , everything functions great , bolt is smooth , trigger upgrade feels amazing , bolt release and safety are G2g , and detachable mag locs up , ejects and most importantly feeds and ejects perfectly

very pleased with the whole project , thanks for the reply

 

Just so you know the same thing can happen with the front scope mount. Shorter screws go in front, longer in the rear.

 

what happened is it was a ADL to BDL conversion , so the screw i bought that i needed because the ADL screw would not work was too long for some reason , the other was too short , the screws i purchased were suppose to be BDL action screws

like i said , i had already ground the screw down because it was stopping before it seated in the trigger guard , i just did not realize the hole went all the way through

my rifle came with pic rail already on it so thats what i always used
