I had the same fitting issue with my Boyds stock. I drilled the hole out and press fit some 3/8" dowel rod with a little glue into it. After it dried I redrilled the hole and it fits nice and tight now.

Did you have a problem aligning the holes. When I get my stock back from Boyds and fit it to my receiver I will have to redrill the hole for the tang screw, seems like the hole is angled?Originally Posted by Saleen84

My wife said if I go coyote hunting one more time she's going to leave me....I'm going to miss that woman!
The hole was too far forward on the stock. It's slightly angled. I just used a paint stir stick as a shim to adjust the angle of the stock until it was close on my $40.00 drill press. Marked and center drilled the hole and used a drill bit that was the same diameter as the screw (iirc it was a letter sized drill bit). Somehow I managed to do it right the first time. My plan was to drill it out bigger if I fudged up.
Oh and if you reaaally mess that up, my backup backup plan was to either glass bed or jb weld the hole if the hole was too sloppy.
I look forward to hearing about the holster solution - some pretty expensive holsters out there!
Go to Ebay and ask for bandito ranch hand holster. fits my ranch hand very well. @ a fair price.

Had my gunsmith cut reweld and blue to match a regular 1892 lever.

Is there any levers that can be straight swapped into those?
Just brought home mine and its the first order of buisness, getting a regular loop.
With the ongoing prices for gunsmiths around here, by the time i have the loop reworked and reblued i will be way over the price of a new one.
Cost me $60 or so for cut reweld and reblue-as I recall - but I had to wait until it a was scheduled with other similar jobs. May have been a bit more or less. Levers are very hard to find .
