Hello CptCurl,

Stock is not loose right now, but I wouldn't mind checking the through bolt tightness. Wood likely shrinks over these many years.

Yes, definitely! I'm actually getting more and more used to the heavy triggers with each outing. They are heavy but smooth, and most importantly, they are predictable. It was only at the insistence of improving the triggers for re-regulating that this entire issue arose. So far, all those that I asked about Fraser's and through-bolts, have said they didn't think they had through bolts.

I'm the type that wants to know "all" the information so as to make an informed decision before proceeding on any project to one of my rifles. I guess its my Engineering background that doesn't like surprises.
