This is an old thread but the screwdriver through the side of the stock happened to me. I was sick about it. The repair would have cost me over 500. Fortunately I found a NOS butt stock on Ebay in the original box with paperwork for 300. I have since told my gunsmith about it and he said he did the same thing years ago. He also thought at one time there was a special screwdriver that fit the hole and centred itself to the hole. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
