I smoked the action into the wood during the inletting but, in hindsight, that may not have been worth the 2 or 3 weeks effort. I probably could have hogged out a bunch of wood, filled it full of Steel Putty and left it at that. No one is ever going to see the 3 weeks of extra time anyway.
Enfield needs a shorter front receiver screw

I really like the Mauser. My first build was a 98 in 375 H&H. It took me almost a year to do. This is my 2nd build. Even though it was my first, and quite a bit slower, the Mauser was an easier build. I really had a lot of difficulty with the angled rear receiver screw in the Enfield.
This is my 375. I'll have to try to find a better pic. It looks amateur to the eye, but I was very pleased with it.

You are securing the wrong end. You secure the end you are cutting off.
Think about it.

give me a second....I need to process that. .....So, thread the die onto the screw by hand, clamp the threaded section below the die in the vise, cut new threads into the shank, cutoff the old threads and then back the die off the newly cut threads. Am I getting that right?

You got it.
Thank you, Gentlemen. The assistance and the quality input is very much appreciated.
I'm learning to like all these 'ultimatum' steps of the process. Where you just have one opportunity to either get it right or....

Me too, Sir, me too. And I need to have it not only finished but shooting sub-MOA before I leave for Idaho in Sep.
Thank you, Sir
