I have refurbished a 16ga elector field grade flues and replacing the stock was part of the project.

I have the gun fully assembled with all but one of the screws in. Currently the stock is tight in all the places that need be but the last screw hole I need to drill and screw to be placed is the main top strap screw.

My concern is that if I do this wrong it may pull the frame away from the wood inletting versus pulling it into the wood inletting.

Am I over thinking this or are there things I need to consider?

This is the last step to finishing this project
