Great information! I have been making stocks since late 60s and drill the tang screws by hand. On the front screw hole under top lever that is the important one and holds the action tightly against head of stock. You have to have the stock pulled up tightly against wood before holes are marked to drill. There are different methoids to do this and Galazan has a fixture to do this or you can make your own. You want the hole to be slightly to rear and then you can use a chain saw file to carefully open up hole until you get screw to go home! If drilling by hand mark hole at top and i take a plug screw and screw in bottom hole in trigger plate and leave screw ever so slightly above the hole and smoke or use inletting compound on tip of screw. Put action back on wood and you will have bottom of stock marked where hole should be. Drill half the hole from top and half from bottom using a bit smaller than hole size you need. On the rear tang screw you can drill it center . Email me at gunscrew@ yahoo.com if you need any help. Bobby
