[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 450756, member: 24284"] That's why there are gunsmiths! A good one will look at it all, not just the metal. How many times does someone carry only part or a rifle into my shop telling me what they think is wrong. We've all heard, "Lock, Stock, & Barrel". In modern terms, it's a system, and a good gunsmith knows this. If you've have had it in [B][I]two[/I][/B] H-S Stocks, it's probably not the stock, but, I'd check it anyway. Sorry, costs dollars to have a pro fix problems you can't. Costs dollars to have a mechanic fix your new SUV, a plumber to work on a drain you don't have the time or tools to do, or an electrician to fix a problem so you don't burn your house down. By the way, you want a gunsmith, not [B]just[/B] a machinist as a machinist probably won't have an action wrench and a barrel vise. There is much [I]more[/I] to being a gunsmith than being a machinist, but it helps if you are. [/QUOTE]
