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 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><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" 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>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><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" 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>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><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/badger-m5-choate-installation-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" 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>When both action screws are snug and are the proper length to clear the bolt use a #30-Torx driver to torque them to\u00a0<em><strong>65 in-lbs<\/strong><\/em>.
