SR-22 handguard tapped rail holes

I just received a full length top rail for my SR-22 and the supplied screws do not appear to be the correct thread as I can only get about one and one-half turns before resistance.:confused:

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I got the rail from Combat Optical via eBay.

Never mind, I figured out what was causing the resistance. It was the anodized coating on the handguard hole threads. I chased the holes with a clean 10-32 screw and then installed the rail screws. The rail locks up tight and looks good. Now for some add-ons!:D
