After I looked at it closely, the front "screw" is now a tiny little stud which rests in the forward most 6-48 threaded hole. I cleaned up the original and put it all back the way Remington made it, minus the rear screw being too long. Added some blue Loc-tite, snugged her down, slipped the hood on and called the customer. What kills me is selling people a 700 BDL with this [bleep] setup.
