I can lock it all up using a screwdriver , but there's movement in the slides , but the screw holes look ok not elongated or anything which is confusing .
I cant just slide the halves together + the spring loaded bit and just then run the screw finger tight . if i do there's movement . If i pulled down hard and use a screwdriver its ok .
But my plan is to take it back , i noticed it there but thought it was a loose stock bolt , which there was , not expecting a built like a tank precision engineered never wear out rifle to think any other , checked the BHOA , cracks in the forend , bore . the usual .
makes me think its a duffer .
