What happens if you screw a rifle stock in too long?
If you try and put too long of a screw in, you risk going all the way through the stock and hitting the barrel (or in my case, the tube magazine). The stress can not only make the rifle less accurate, but it can also crack the stock. Furthermore, it will be more likely to come out.
How to install swivel mounts?
Now, installing the swivel mounts are pretty easy. Place the screw in the hole, making sure to have the small washers installed if you have them. Insert a drill bit or small screwdriver into the hole in the head of the screw, and twist it until it is firmly emplaced.
How to tell where your front swivel should be?
