How’d you know that was black locust??? It’ll never rot. Slather it up with Hoppes #9 and don’t worry. BWAHAHAHA!

Did that stock bolt on, or did it need some fitting?

Basically correct; it prevents the shooter from "fine tuning" (e.g., re-QUALIFYING) the top tang screw head so it stays true in butt-to-muzzle alignment. Loosening or over tightening the top tang screw can produce over- or under- torque on the top & bottom tangs; the trigger plate being immediately affected by that can stress the movement and timing of the ST platform and components and produce all types of 'unpleasant" results: misfires, nonfires, and my personal favorite, doubling.

Stamp the serial number under the tang and 50 years from they’ll be declaring, “Factory”!

Needed quite a bit of fitting.

The lower tang screw is every bit as sensitive to over or under tightening. I wonder if that one has a lock screw as well?

Dean, no locking screw for that bottom tang screw.
