BSA, tell me what you mean by "inletting guide screws"????

This is an old thread buddy. The inletting screws are screws you screw into the bottom of the receiver. That way you don't have to use your action screws. On the model 70 these are nice because the front action screw hole opens up into the action. If you are not careful, you can get epoxy inside the receiver near the chamber of the rifle. I bet many of the pictures are gone on this thread as well. When I started it, I was using photobucket and lost those pics.

Anyway, here is a set of inletting screws:

As a side note, I will always spray the inside of the receiver with Hornady one shot case lube, near the chamber where the front action hole is. That way if epoxy gets in there it will be very easy to remove later.

Don’t buy the power custom 70 kit from midway. I sent it back like three times because the screws aren’t the right thread even though it is labeled model 70. Somebody put the wrong screws in.

I didn’t see these BSA I will have to get a set of these. I went to Home Depot and bought some standard bolts and cut the head off. I forget which metric thread is really similar and will allow you to thread it in a couple threads. Not ideal but gets the job done.

Thank you!

If the original stock hasn’t been messed with bedding will reduce its’ value by at least 50%

Fully understood. Its a shooter rifle, still its good to point that out to others reading this thread. The stock has a few finish issues but it is intact. It has a plastic buttplate rather than aluminum.
