Thread: Load development/Gun Smith

Looking back it’s quite common for it to group 2 then I flyer which I’ve considered it to be, normally the first shot so assume it’s just the clean barrel or me, then sometimes it just sprays everything
I know the clearance in the recoil lug/action recess would be normal but really feel that the Clarence should be at the back of the lug, as when it recoils it would do bugger all..?

The barrel is fully floating and the stock doesn’t come close to touching the barrel, I would have thought a flexi stock could be more a problem if it was pressure bedded like factory?

I do have another stock there, will consider that when time allows.

Yes, clearance is at the back and top of the lug. Full contact at the front i.e. needs to be square on to action slot. Check if there is movement between the barrel and stock when undoing the action screws, particularly the front one. A very small amount is usually acceptable but not anymore than that.

Sorry can't help you with this one on one as I live in the NI.
