Well it's complicated....First off the stock was made by Keith Stegall in the late 40's or early 50's so I hate to start changing much.
One problem I see is there is no forearm screw escutcheon and the screw is compressing a ebony wedge and seems like it needs tightening all the time. I put an "O" Ring under it and I'll see if that stays and improves anything. I just need some good weather now to test it.
I shoot all my single-shot schuetzen rifles off the barrel and the forend on all of them has full contact. The two Borchardt-Niedner .25-Krags seem to shoot better off the forearm so that's what I've been doing. The other Borchardt with full forend contact has averaged .788" at 100-yards for 200 shots.
