[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 732607, member: 14209"] Floating the forearm is actually straight forward. It's just a matter of removing a little wood from under the front end of the stock just under the barrel. The forend is held in place by that angled screw and the problem is that there is quite a bit of play in the whole set up until it is tightened down. This is why it is so hard to reset the forearm consistantly. Being held up by pressure imparted by a 45 degree angle pulled upward and back at the same time. Bedding and re inletting the whole set up produces a fit that is much better than what the Factory is able to produce and relieves the stress that the forarm places on the Barrel. I have never looked at the Hicks system, as I haven't had a No1 for a few years and haven't had to mess with one for some time. If you think that would help give it a try. It seems that this needs to be addressed first before load development could be considered. Hope this helps. Dan [/QUOTE]
