Yes. I do the components in batches and trade out the wood to the new
action. Saves time on turnaround. We can't do that without your gun
being new but that's mostly what we are working on.

I have run into this problem B4. The striker spring is jumping out of
the rear housing cause it is so short. We fix this by snipping a piece
of oring about .100" long and stuffing it under the rear philliops screw
iat the action rear. That should cure the problem. That will grap the
back of the spring and disable it from jumping out of place. Call me if
this isn't clear.

Allens under the mounting screws determine how low the action sits in
the stock and how tight the sliding is. Run them in 1/4 turn at a time
until you get the proper amount of tension is the hot tip.

Of course my One year warranty will cover it. The factory two year
covers all else but we take care of our customers. No need to send it in
tho hopefully.
