I've looked at all the usual suspects on the first two pages of Google results, but can't seem to find a definitive answer for this one.
My replacement ejector screw came in today for my No.4 Mk.1* project. It threads into the receiver just fine, but if screwed all the way in, it prevents the bolt from being able to move forward as it is about 1 thread too long. I saw some mention on one site about having to custom fit the screw when replacing it (assuming it means cut it down) but otherwise i'm not seeing much. I know it's not needed to eject spent brass, only live rounds, but I want everything to be correct. Anyone have any answers on if cutting is necessary? Or am I missing something?
