Thread: free floating and bedding rifle stock at home

Kiaora
Left my wooden stock gun in the hotwater cupboard for a few weeks a few months back (before I knew any better) and I don't think it shoots as well any more.
I've run a piece of paper between stock and barrel and it is touching near the front of the stock.
I'm considering whether I should sand a bit off the stock where it touches up front and put it back together myself or just get a gunsmith to do it.

Is it difficult to put the action back into the stock or do you just screw it in?
My tool box is pretty much limited to a screwdriver and sand paper
Cheers
Tom
