[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1674746, member: 31264"] To a degree, I agree with this. I'm just not so sure the rifle work is so easy to do. IMHO, I would simply bed the rifle to correct any slight contact. I have a half dozen of these stocks and love them. All but one of them shot better after bedding. The one that didn't was the same, not worse. If the barrel is not square to the receiver, it's not usually a simple repair. Blueprinting to fix misalignment is not easy to do...... PROPERLY. Yes, it can be done inexpensively, but it's not likely to shoot well. The best one could hope for is a receiver face that is crooked. While that can be fixed, it will probably also require some chamber work to headspace properly. A crooked face and threads cannot be fixed without a new barrel or cutting the tenon off. A crooked barrel tenon must be cut off and recut resulting in a shorter barrel and a crummy barrel contour that looks ugly in the stock. [/QUOTE]
