So I was checking the torque on my action screw and noticed that it only screws in about one thread with the factory stock so really all that holds the action in place is the barrel band what are your alls thoughts on this

Take action out of stock and screw the take down screw in all the way - still only one thread? Could be some junk in the threads, chase 'em.

Then put it back together. With the barrel band off, and the take down screw in, does the rifle rock back and forth?

The screw screws in fine with the action out of the stock with the stock on the action and the screw in with one thread there is front and back movement do I need to remove some material from the stock where the action screw goes through the stock??

It's unclear what you mean by it screws in fine. Do you mean that it protrudes about 0.3" on the inside when screwed all the way in with the action out? If so, how are you determining that only a couple of threads are engaging the action? Have youd done any mods to the stock (bedding, etc.)?

I'd first check to make sure the escucheon hasn't worked it's way out. It's only press fit in by Ruger. You may be able to tap it in. I wouldn't remove material yet.

When screwing the screw into the action without the stock it screws in all the way to the end without issues when putting the stock on the action and screwing the screw in you can feel it catch but then it spins and catches again I will check the euschcheon when I get home there has been zero mods to the stock

Got it. When it is screwed in all the way, action out, about 1/3" of threads should be protruding up through the hole. 1/3" is a lot for your action to be off by. Check to see if the threads on the receiver are in good shape and not stripped. If they are, you may need to tap to the next size up and get a larger action screw. Several people do this mod even when there is no problem, going to a 1/4" takedown screw, but I don't think it makes enough difference to go there, unless there's a problem like stripped threads.

It sounds like the escutcheon isn't seated completely .

I will check this and let you all know if it solves my problem

The action screw screws into the action but rather than stopping it just spins any thoughts on how to fix this do I need to tap it and get a different bolt

Yes the action is seated fully into the stock

Nothing has been changed should I get a 1/4-20 and tap the receiver?

Is the bolt supposed to thread through the stock or simply slide through

No, you need to get a factory bolt.

That is a factory bolt

Too hard to guess the scale of the picture. Another theory would be that the screw is an M5 metric. An M5 metric would have an outside diameter of 0.1968". The inside diamter of a 12-24 screw hole is 0.19". Depending on the tolerences, that might feel like the screw is barely catching the threads?

That is exactly what it feels like

I have tried pressing the escutcheon thinking the screw head was bottoming out on it and that didn't help putting the screw directly into the action there is something me play and it feels like the treads are not grabbing the threads in the receiver

Glad you got it figured out. A pic is worth a thousand guesses.

It's no wonder companies can't beta test for all the ways us pubic can mess things up! Did you hurt the ring threads?

I don't think so
