I just picked up Weaver scope mount model 63-B this weekend and installed it on my Marlin 336. After tightenting down the screws, I realized that they had extended far enough to bind against the bolt. I took the mount back to the store and it seems the screws in all the 63-B packages are the same length (approx 1/4" thread length).
Any one else have this problem? I called Weaver and they said they would send me the correct screws (which will have to be no more than 1/8" thread length), but I'm guessing I'll probably get another set just like I have.
If that happens, how difficult is it to file and bevel these screws? Are they a hardened steel? Any other suggestions/tips?
Thanks
