[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1127333, member: 1290"] Scope rings being the exception, in gunsmithing or custom rifles rarely are screws the right length. On action or scope base screws I think it's best to individually fit them. Then you can get them perfect. [IMG]http://www.brownells.com/userdocs/products/l_080574001_3.jpg[/IMG] [URL]http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/small-hardware/screw-checkers/screw-checker-shortening-jig-prod41831.aspx[/URL] You can make one up or buy it from Brownells. There is another style that looks like a piece of steel banding material bent in half with holes in it to hold the screws. This way you can hold really short ones without burning your fingers. I shorten my screws on a belt sand and never have a problem with burrs or deformed threads. Heavy calluses allow me to get the job done before the screw gets too hot. I cut them with a hack saw or small bolt cutters to get them within an 1/8th inch then finish on the belt sander. [/QUOTE]
