[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2632201, member: 92604"] I buggered up the threads on a Browning x bolt to where the bolt wouldn't screw in. Got tap partly in but chickened out on finishing it and took to gunsmith. He ran a tap in and cleaned it all up then cut down a replacement screw that is longer than the stock one to get full threads in it. The factory screw only grabbed with 2-3 threads. I was sweating that one since it wasn't my rifle and deer hunting started in about a week. Issue with the x bolt is the barrel threads are at the bottom of the action screw hole, so can't tap through it. [/QUOTE]
