I admit you had me going there. I even dug out my 35 Remington. Good joke. As you already knew the screw does not go into the barrel. Haha. The joke was on me.
Every damn one I've ever seen, including every one of the several 336's and 3 1894's I've owned it goes through into the barrel, just exactly like a model 94 Winchester. I don't know WTF you did to yours.
