Hi Rick, my TAC A1 has the same issue as do three others that I have seen locally. I contacted Beretta who had me send it in. After they inspected the rifle I was told that it was within specification, that they had checked out several other TAC A1's and they behaved similarly when the stock was in the folded position. With that response I contacted the Beretta's Tikka Product Manager and reviewed the general issue, that the stock would quickly mar the receiver, and that the rifle, when carried in the folded position generated considerable noise. He appreciates the issue, confirmed that that the folding mechanism was not adjustable and has forwarded the information to Tikka Finland, though owing to European summer vacations it would likely be three or more weeks before his notes would likely be reviewed. He committed to following up with me with their response. The Tikka Product Manager seems like a great guy who knows his products and enjoys firearms—will hope that Tikka comes up with a fix, including one for early adopters. In the interim, I've placed a small transparent silicone “pad” with a self adhesive backing on the affected receiver area to serve as a “bumper”. Best wishes, Cliff
