brian923 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 hey guys, heres the prob. i got this fn style bolt shroud a whiloe ago to build on my turk. but.... i just got a vz24 action, and figured that i would like to have it on that action instead because the turk is not all together anymore. (next project) i will be installing this with a bold trigger with safty. heres a pic of whats happening. this is as far as the bolt will close. the shroud is screwed all the way on in its farthest forward position. it seem to look identical to the origonal shroud. i dont know whats wrong. anyone know what i can do? im guessing that it may need some fitting, i just dont know where to start. thanks guys, brian.

Rojelio Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Brian, Is it hitting the back of the receiver, or, is it locking up somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian923 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 yes. as you lower the bolt the shroud sholder is pulled up into the back of the reciver. you can see the little gap that is at the front of the shroud and where it hits the action.

ken98k Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 That can be remedied if you have access to a mill but, I would try another shroud first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian923 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 i do have accsess to a mill. i would rather make this one fit since i already have it, and am on a very tight budget! according to the pic, the upper right top of the shroud is contacting the reciver when the bolt hits about 50 percent of its lowering travel. the only things i can see to do is... file or mill the sholder off the top of the shroud, or remove material from the reciver until it will close. is this right?? i would rather remove material from the shroud. which is the right thing to do... if either of these is the right thing??? thanks for the help, brian.

724wd Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 looks to me like you're RIGHT THERE as far as the bolt closing. remove VERY LITTLE material from the shroud and try it over and over... heath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian923 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 okay. thats what i am going to try. while ill be removing material from the sholder, the lip will be getting longer, (the piece that goes into the reciever) is this okay, or shod i be shortening that too???
