[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3031299, member: 93138"] Fairly common to see junk in that front hole. Gunscrubber may blast it out (wear your safety glasses!!!), otherwise you may need to use a dental pick. One thing that isn't addressed in that video is side to side leveling of the base. He seems to assume that it will be correct. I used to, too. Then I had one that isn't. It tilts .015" in 6" The fault is the action, not the base. Production actions are hand polished, and there lays the problem. It isn't anything close to actually round even though it sure looks like it is. Even J-B Weld when well prepped isn't [I]that[/I] permanent. A sharp rap in the right direction (think shear and lifting) from a hammer on a brass drift will usually pop it loose. BT, DT. [/QUOTE]
