I spent a few hours today installing my Volquartsen action kit, auto bolt release, SS match barrel, and Hogue stock.
The barrel (which was a PAIN to install and I don't even know if it's all the way in) pulls to the right slightly when seated in the stock. If you look at the muzzle end, you can see that the barrel touches the stock on the right but not on the left. The "un-evenness" is very minor, maybe 2/10's of an inch. I tried unscrewing the stock from the receiver and re-seating the whole thing, but it doesn't help. I wish I could have a barrel band, it would most likely solve my problem.
The barrel is centered where it meets the receiver, it's only towards the muzzle where the stock ends that there is this gap. I would like to fix this somehow, as at 100 yards I am certain that the gun would be shooting off center. I assume that if I set the scope to correct it there would be no problem, but I'd like to center the barrel in the stock if possible.
Also, the piece that is screwed into the receiver to secure the barrel (two long Allen screws) doesn't fit flush like it did with the stock barrel. The screws are fully tightened, and the barrel seems to be fully inserted into the receiver. There is a gap betwen the piece and the receiver, where they were flush with the stock setup.
Sorry for the lengthy post, I am just trying to iron out my "new" 10/22.
