Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing McMillan inlet problem

Just got a brand new Micky edge stock, they nailed the inlet except...
This is an ADL stock and I can’t get the front action bolt to line up with the action in the stock. I can lift it and start it but it soon binds up.

I put a longer screw in and let it self center in the escutcheon and you can see that as it comes through the pillar it is setting pretty firmly against the back of the pillar. I’m not sure if it’s the escutcheon that is crooked on the pillar itself....

What would ya’ll do? Should I bug McMillan with it? I hate to wait for it...

I’m no smith but to me it appears as though the pillar needs bored out a bit. Although I think the screw is going to bind in the action, if the escutcheon is crooked.....I guess I could try and determine if the bolt is 90* to the inlet and that might give a course if action. I usually follow the mantra that the action bolts need to be stress free and floating within the pillar to be set up “the best”....this is a built action with a bartlein barrel so I want to give it every chance to shoot....

Thoughts. Before I bed this....
