Right, I guess big hole/small bolt is best combo for max bend.
Get or make smaller dia' bolts? Enlarge hole?
Related Q..is purpose of bolt purely for snugging up stock tight to the action?
I was thinking strength at first,but if any thing. the bored hole would weaken the stock in thin places...unless the bolt was dead tight in the hole.?
But then you couldn't bend the stock
So weaker?
I've never actually seen a stock bolt or its hole for that matter
& have no idea of dia',or what exactly happens at the business end
Just thoughts from a couch-school gunsmith,lol
Interesting though.
cheers
