I bought a Bell and Carlson stock for may Savage 110. It dropped right in, but the front action screw is too short in to actually screw into the action in the new stock. I had a similar problem with a Boyd's, so I just opened the hole a bit to allow the screw to sink in further. Problem is, on the B&C stock, there is a steel ring inserted at the opening of the hole, and I can't grind the hole any deeper because of the ring.

Has any one else had this problem? Did the Savage 110 front action screws used to be longer? What's the deal? Any suggestions on what I should do?
