[QUOTE="nchunter182, post: 1274751, member: 42015"] Anthony, You mentioned the concern was being able to shorten the bolt stop enough to allow a round to be picked up from the box, but still have enough bolt stop left to stop the bolt. Attached is a pic I took tonight with a ruler next to the bolt stop. As best I can measure without taking the rifle apart, is I took about .150" off the stop. This makes sense since you said the box you have is 3.850" and the longer one is 4.000". Unless they have changed something since I bought mine, there is still plenty of bolt stop left to stop the bolt. Never had any issue with it. I'd carefully measure yours before cutting. Good luck with your project! Jay Also attached a pic with the 4.00 box installed. [ATTACH]69790.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]69791.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
