Hello All,

Just purchased a M1917 Enfield sporter very similar to M1riflenut's pictured in another thread. Mine has a full length barrel. No receiver sight, but a scope. Upon sighting it in with factory remington cartridges, it seemed
to be somewhat inconsistent at 50yds. Averaging about 3 inch group.

The crown is fine, as the bore. The guard screws were about a 1/4 turn loose (my bad) The tip of the stock contacts the barrel, as well as the barrel channel, but most of the pressure is in the tip. Sorry for the ramble, but can I increase the accuracy by removing the contact points and free floating it, or leave it alone and try different loads etc.?
