[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1012759, member: 4191"] Hi Ted, How about placing a thin small stainless steel washer between the aluminum bottom metal and the heads of the action screws? Let the stainless steel washer suffer the friction and wear and tear motion from the action screw heads? Just in case. But I think someone must have been using an air powered impact wrench to wear down thru that much aluminum on the trigger guard assembly... :) I think I'll add a thin stainless washer on a Tikka T3 I'm getting ready to bed into a Manners stock. The additional weight of steel bottom metal is too much needless weight for me, when I'm trying to keep my rifle light for backpack hunting. I'm one of those obsessive/compulsive sheep hunters...
