I begin the process of assembling the rifle in the Minelli stock and it looks awesome. The problem is the rifle is now a very beautiful club. Every time I opened then closed the bolt to to cock the rifle the striker comes uncocked.
I had to relieve some of the wood underneath the trigger pad just to get the rifle to fit. Even as it is it's a very snug fit almost too snug I cannot get the rear action bolt to thread in all the way.
Studying the old stock I saw that there's some inletting that cuts right through the stock reinforcement bolt And the inletting for the trigger is identical. At this point I'm at a loss as to what to do other than take it back to the 'smith and have him finish it.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to look at or try?
