[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1698182, member: 110162"] Their install kit is pretty trick too. Comes with long threaded stock with the same thread pitch as the action. Then they have t nuts to tighten everything down to set the pillars in place. I drilled two 5/8" holes centered on the original action screw holes in the stock , gooped up the pillar outside halfs, attached the pillars to my action with the threaded rods and a thin nut at each pillar. Slid it into my stock, slapped my floor plate on and snuggled it down with the t bolts. Once the epoxy set, I pulled it all apart, expoxied the threads on the inner half of the pillars and screwed them to the right length to fit my stock. Once all that set up, I cut loose with a dremel and sanding barrel on all the area that mates to the action on the stock inlet except of course on the pillars. Got at least 1/8-3/16" of clearance everywhere and used loctite slow set epoxy to bed the stock. I used the threaded rods and t bolts to snug ot all down till the action set solid on the pillars. End result was an inlet job that fits perfect and pulls down on both pillars exactly square and pinch free. That's my go to way to pillar/glass bed in the future. [/QUOTE]
