[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 69566, member: 8"] To elaborate on what Ian says: The way I do it is to put a nut on the bolt/screw before filing it down and then when you get it to the right length, unscrew the nut and it automatically cleans up the thread. Put the nut on and off the screw several times to insure it works both ways You might get some washers to put on before the nut and space the nut out to where you want to cut it off then you can just grind/file right down till you hit the nut. There might be a small tag or metal that has to be pulled off with tweezers so take a careful look before installing it into the rifle. You do not want that tag to jam into the threads [/QUOTE]
