[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1934634, member: 69192"] I have a pre-64 Winchester model 70 in .270 Winchester that I just finished glass bedding, floating the barrel and pillar bedding. I started looking for specs to torque the action screws, but.......could not find anything in a search here in the forum and also on the net??? I did find answers like, [I][U]"There ain't any"[/U][/I] , but don't believe it. This particular pre-64 has an additional screw that is about four inches in front of the front action screw that holds the barrel tight into the stock. I'm not too familiar with the Winchesters, this too is something that I have never encountered. When I bedded the stock I did bed just past the boss in the barrel that this screw is threaded into, and then floated the barrel out to the fore end. I thought that if the rifle did not shoot the way I would like it the glass could be removed from around the boss. Does anyone have any information on what these screws get torqued at, or....know where I can find information on the specs. [/QUOTE]
