[QUOTE="Hodag, post: 1104792, member: 91410"] Ok. Decided to have a local Smith do the pillars. Mistake. For the recoil lug pillar he used a rolled sleeve. I question the integrity and plus the pillar is not inlet into the stock and the action bolt is very sloppy due the the larger diameter pilot hole in the pilar. The front action pillar is not beveled/angled like the Brownell pillars. the o.d. fits flat onto the action lug. Pillar pilot hole is much larger than the action bolt. The pillar is not recessed in the stock but goes completely through the stock. Are these going to cause potential problems down the road: 1) Both action bolts would be free floating inside the pillars. 2) Pillars are not recessed into stock so what would hold the action tight to the bedded stock? 3) Recoil lug pillar is a rolled sleeve. Seems to be taken out of some cheap factory pillar. 4) What do I risk by drilling out this mess and pillaring with the Brownell's. Maybe none of this is a problem but it is far short of the job I could have done. The more I look at it the more I feel like I've been robbed of 60 bucks by a Smith.
