[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1514504, member: 77536"] Hello, I'm by no means a gunsmith but am pretty handy and tinker with stuff quite a bit. I've got a model 70 classic that the first 3-4 threads on the tang screw hole are pulled on. I scrounged around and found a screw that is a little longer but still doesn't bottom out and it is holding for now. I see that they make 1/4"-32 heli-coils. Is that going to be my best option for repair? There is plenty of meat there to hold one but I've never installed an insert with threads that fine and am curious if it is strong enough. Thanks [/QUOTE]
