Gently pull the trigger guard from  the stock while supporting the barreled action. Make sure the barreled  action is supported or it will drop free from the stock and can be  damaged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation 3\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-3.jpg\" alt=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Remove  the trigger guard and the internal magazine box from the stock. The  entire trigger guard and internal magazine will not be reused. Remove  parts from the workspace for the remainder of the installation. Remove  the barreled action from the stock and place it out of the way as well.  The stock will not be used again for this project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation 4\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-4.jpg\" alt=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Gather  the new Choate Tactical Stock, the Badger M5 Trigger Guard, and both of  the supplied T-30 Action Screws and place them on your workspace. The  supplied Badger Ordinance Pillars are not used for this application.  This is due to the full length aluminum bedding block used in the Choate  Tactical Stock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation 5\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-5.jpg\" alt=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Place  the barreled action into the Choate Tactical Stock. Supporting the  barreled action, turn the rifle over and insert the Badger Ordnance M5  Trigger Guard into the inlet stock. Insert the longer of the two  #30-Torx action screws into the rear of the trigger guard. The shorter  of the two #30-Torx action screws installs in the front of the trigger  guard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation \" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-6.jpg\" alt=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">To get  the action screws started, thread them by hand to avoid damaging the  threads on the action screws and more importantly the action. Once the  action screws are started, slowly and carefully tighten them equally  taking time to make sure neither of the action screws are too long. If  one or both of the action screws are too long you will need to either  trim the supplied action screws or purchase new shorter screws. The  action screws are a 7\/28 thread that can be found at most chain hardware  stores.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation 7\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-7.jpg\" alt=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">When both action screws are snug and are the proper length to clear the bolt use a #30-Torx driver to torque them to <em><strong>65 in-lbs<\/strong><\/em>. Caution! Failure to torque the action bolts with a calibrated Torx Driver may result in damage to the rifle! Per Badger, <em>LocTite not needed. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation 9\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-9.jpg\" alt=\"Badger M5 Choate Installation\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">After  installing the trigger guard double-check that the action screws will  clear the bolt and install the bolt. Next insert the supplied Accuracy  International 5-shot magazine into the Badger Trigger Guard. With the  rifle unloaded cycle the bolt to make sure that the bolt cycles freely  and does not hang up on the magazine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Installation complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning!
