Encore stock bolt size?

[flabbydan]

Could someone please let me know the thread pitch and length of the drawbolt for the factory Encore walnut buttstock?

Thread pitch is 1/4-20, the length I,m not sure. Most hardware stores such as Lowes etc. do sell these. I do know if they are to long the hammer will not cock. If this happens you can add washers to take up the space or just get a shorter bolt.

You can place the stock on the frame and measure the lenght. I use a 1/4" dowel rod with a rubber o ring on it.  Slide the o ring onto the dowel rod then push the dowel into the hole in the bottom of the stock until you make contact with the stub on the frame where the bolt screws into. Pull back out and add 1/4" to 3/8" to this and you have your bolt lenght.

Thank you for the reply, David.  My problem is that I have a stock I'd like to sell, but when I sold my frame, I gave the bolt away too.  I think I'll contact T/C and see if they can tell me the right length or send me a bolt.

I just spoke with a lady on T/C's customer service toll-free number (866-730-1614).  She said the correct length of the bolt for the WALNUT encore stock is 2 inches.  The thread pitch is 1/4x20.
I just thought I'd post this info, in case anyone else could find it useful.
