Mark, Rather than take out the drop screws I've turned them all up a bit, then ground them off with a dremil. (Takes about 45 minutes) Then use the dremil cutoff wheels to cut a new groove for a slotted screw drive. (Another 45 minutes) In less than two hours your action will fit in the cavity with no problem. It's a lot faster than taking out all the drop screws, etc. and worked well. Use a sharp grinding wheel. (Mine was diamond) Wear eye protection because the cut off wheels will break. Jim Busby RPT
