[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1279210, member: 18849"] +1 on the lamp posts, I have used these on many different wooden stocks including Boyds, Savages & Remington... But the twist is that I first bore the action screw holes with the appropriate size bit (depends on the wood) and then tap the holes with a modified 1/8" pipe tap (because standard taps are so short, the shank is ground down so that I can tap completely though the stock)...Then cut and fit the lamp nipples to fit..I make index marks on the nipples so that I can turn them exactly into position while they are epoxied in place..I always fit and let the pillars cure before bedding the rest of the action. Hint; use a small file to remove the weld flash inside the nipples to prevent interference with the action screws. My method and seems to work well for me. Good luck, Randy [/QUOTE]
