Please do not go with finer threads on the screws! I find it is too easy the strip the treads in the wood by over tightening when you have a finer tread. But us amateurs still need the holes and the screws. It's easier for you to drill them properly in a jig.

A scary prospect for some of us of low talent level!

Eightbore, Try it you'll like it! It's not a walk in the park but it's not all that hard. I have done one skel. plate and several solid plates like Parkers and Neidner.

Ken, I like your "clocking" solution. Thanks for the idea.

Al ---- I found this not only to be fast But, you never have to worry about chewing up the wood threads. I would suggest you flatten one screw tip as an indicator so you will always know which hole it belongs to. FWIW, Ken

Gee Ken, why haven't you told me that a LONG time ago!
FWIW, I have an alternative method you may find useful if you are like me and need to take the buttplate off 27 million times w/o wearing out the screw holes. Install anchors and use bolts. Works - even for a dunderhead like me.
