[QUOTE="Black67, post: 1078551, member: 41359"] I just read the long story, and I have a question. Does the action and barrel go into the old stock without any troubles? Is it straight in that like it was before? Just want to make sure, with all of the things that this guy did, want to make sure that he did not bend the barrel in any way. Now if that is correct, there are a few things that you can do to help make the stock and barrel be centered. A Dremel with different bits will help. Check around the recoil lug, is anything holding it up there like bedding material or any extra material? If so, remove the bedding and rebed the lug. Check around the tang. Is it bedded in this area? Does it look even when you look at if from side to side? This area might need some cleaning up too. When you go to do the bedding, run tape around the barrel near the end of the stock to help it stay centered. Some other might have some better ideas, these are the areas I would look at first. I just did this on my Winchester Model 70 Featherweight. The barrel was to the right side and just touching the end. I found that the bedding in the tang area was off center and the recoil lug was also off. I removed all of that and re-did everything. Since mine is in wood, I also pillar bedded too. [/QUOTE]
