[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1063094, member: 50867"] There are a number of things that contribute to stripped threads - whether in an action or other mechanical devices. One is using the wrong bolt/screw and forcing it when it doesn't want to thread in smoothly. Happens a lot with metric screws vs SAE. Another is poor alignment of parts which puts a bind on the bolt/screw during assembly. That's fairly common with action screws. Some guys just refuse to stop turning when threads aren't running as smoothly as they should. In your case I would not take it back to the guy who worked on it last. That, IMO, is kinda like asking the guy who stole your wallet to loan you ten bucks. :rolleyes: A qualified gunsmith should be able to find a solution to your problem. The amount of work involved will depend on how badly the threads are damaged. It is not, IMO, a DIY job - unless of course you're a machinest or have a lot of experience with this sort of thing.
