Anybody ever had a stock come loose?
« on: October 06, 2003, 05:33:44 PM »
About a year ago my Encore started acting crazy.  I fought it until the buttstock became loose enough that it was moving and then I found the problem.  I tightened it as tight as I thought I should (did not want to split the wood).  Last weekend my groups started getting goofy again, checked the stock tonight and tightened the buttstock screw about 3/4 turn.  I must say I tightened the crud out of it tonight.  The lockwasher is on the bolt.

Has anyone else had this problem? I guess I need to start checking it every few months.

Did you try some Locktite?

That might help.
