I've been reading the posts on stock screws crushing the wood , the flat washer then the star washer under the screw head but what about the inside , has anyone used a shim on the inside also?
So Hector are you saying we need to allow movement between the stock and the action. While still tightening the screws?
"What if I told you that the first versions of the "Walther LGV Spezial" had exactly that?" Never having seen that rifle, I didn't know what was used in it. I did think about replacing the rubber washers in the D54 with teflon washers sourced from Lowes or Ace hardware but got distracted with life before I tried that one. Bakelite is a very hard filled plastic with low compressibility. The stuff I am thinking of is pure polypropylene that is relatively soft and mildly compressible. I think I will make a small plug of polypropylene and use my torque wrenches to determine how much compression it can take until it permanently deforms.Always something to try!!!
My question would have been more clear if I had said The primary rear stock screw really doesn’t attach the compression tube firmly to the stock at all in a Diana 34 and clones.The screw really just adjusts tightness of the threaded lug To the stock and the lug still vibrates in the rear action more or less on how tight/ loose the screw is. Am I seeing that wrong?
For whatever it's worth at this point, the next-to-last photo in this ancient post shows Walther's nice nylon (?) fitted fore end screw cups that Hector mentions. The rifle is an LGV "Olympia."https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/americanvintageairguns/viewtopic.php?p=13306#p13306
