    If I took it lower would it hurt if I cut the bolts a bit shorter and re threaded them? I think if I go lower then action screws will be a bit long but cutting and re threading really is no problem to me if its ok to do so?

    I just looked and may get away with it if I do shorten the bolts it'll be a couple of mm by the looks but not much.

    You're doing really well for someone who thought they'd fuck it up! I do love macrocarpa, I bet your shed smells great now! Are you working off a plan or just sort of winging it?

    What's his name? I might have to give this a go when I get my workbench set up. The stock on my American doesn't exactly scream "lovely homemade stock".
