Replacing factory stock on Tikka Superlite with Bell & Carlson

[Hillbilly Phil]

Need a little advice (I'm no gunsmith). Replacing the stock on a T3 Superlite (brandy new) with a Bell & Carlson Sportster. Barrel located properly in stock (bedding lug in slot on barrel). Turns out the factory stock has a small hole behind the rear screw hole (behind trigger guard) for a small locating dowel in factory trigger guard but new stock doesn't. Appears there was a hole in new stock but filled in with a pin or ... by Bell & Carlson. Should I cut off dowel on trigger guard, or drill out hole in new stock? All tips appreciated. Doubt it matters but caliber is .300 win mag. Thanks.

Hope that you and your family are doing well and in good health. We have several B&C stocks and didn't have that problem. Contact Bell & Carlson and ask for advice.
