[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 2989750, member: 38658"] The stock is touching the barrel. Not sure what happened but it bugged me all night. Came home from lunch and pulled the stock off to see if the screws were loose and they were torqued at 60 inch lbs. Checked the scope rings and they were tight. Put the stock back on and checked the clearance on the stock and barrel. It's touching at the fore end. Can't get a bill down the barrel if you have it resting at the fore end of the stock. Moving the rest to the mag and it will go down the barrel but you can tell it's touching. Dremel in the future. This is somewhat common with these cheap stocks. Don't know why this happened suddenly. When I got the gun, that was one of the first things I checked. Either the added minimal weight of the comp (I mean minimal) was just enough to get it to drag or running the barrel hot caused some kind of issue with the stock bending under heat. Heck if I know. Going to dremel the hell out of the stock and make sure it has clearance. Shouldn't be any big thing to do and can make it look good. Before I do that, I'm going to shoot with comp off but I think that's not the issue when I know the stock is touching the barrel. Free float my ass! Ha. [/QUOTE]
