It sounds like it might as well let Ruger take care of it. I do not remember if it is a new rifle or not. But instead of you waiting on new screws and playing around with it, might as well give it to Ruger and get it back in about the same amount of time. I sent a Mark III off that was brand new over the Holidays. I believe sending it and getting it back was just 2 weeks.

Glad it all worked out. I don't think anyone could have predicted that one

 

[combatinfidel]

I didn't even know how it happened

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

Wow, definitely would not have predicted that one

but he also said "The action screw screws into the action but rather than stopping it just spins"

that sounds like stripped threads to me

+1...

IF the receiver threads are stripped, it would be prudent to strip the receiver, secure properly in a vise and drill to next size larger threads...1/4"x 20...AND make a 'pillar' mount bushing to install in the stock to ensure a FIRM bottoming of the take down screw.

it's more time consuming than difficult and can be accomplished with most garage workshop tools.

I agree, this is one of the most bizarre threads I have read on this site.
