Read that thread and saw the comment about the front action screw being to long. I've got a couple Mossberg Patriot's that maybe I shouldn't fool with but, that front action screw on then goes a bit to deep and touch's the thread's on the barrel threads. Haven't done a thing with the bedding on either but thinking now maybe I could shim up the action a bit and get the screw out of there. Thinking shim a bit because there just isn't a lot of thread's on that screw. The first one I got had a plastic stock and I changed it to wood and the rear action screw was to short. Mossberg sent me out a new one right away, fit nicely. I do't suppose anyone has tried shiming that front screw?
