I have checked with the designer of the BSA pcps. He said that there should be a "tophat" shaped delrin stud in the front screw that holds the trigger to the action. It is pushed into the socket of the caphead screw. The "brim" of the tophat is about 1mm thick and when the stock screw is tightened the rear pulls down and beds on top of this stud. JB said this was a quick fix on the early Dudley made synthetic stocks. It also helped making the magazines removable on the first batch
