Handscrew too large
The product is well made and I have and use several sets for other rifles (Win 70, Springfield and SAKO). I ordered these Mauser hand screws to inlet a M96 Swedish and found the bolt head diameter to be too large. They are .390" and that would not fit the Swede floorplate. The Swede bolt heads are .364". The long screw (rear) also was not properly fit for the Swede rear bolt and had to have its shoulder turned back about 3/16". These screws were very easily modified by knocking out the cross handle (its simply splined) and chucking the screw body in the lathe and dressing the screw to the proper diameters and lengths. Tap the cross handle back in and you're good to go. In a pinch, you could probably do this with a drill press and file. I eMailed Forester and their reply seemed befuddled. Maybe they fit an M98 but they didn't fit my Swede.
