recoil plate gap

[c east]

I have a question into ozark surplus If ( can request a type 3 they seem to have many but say most are type 2 or 3 which sounds iffy....I put that rifle in another stock and all problems went away...I'm going to look for mushiness........ a new stock might be in order, but don't want to spend $300.....Charlie

If the recoil plate bedding area is in question, you would normally build it up with bedding compound. If the wood there is rotten/mushy, you first have to soak in a wood hardener. I actually use thin, watery Super Glue. Once the area turns to stone, then you have a base for the build-up. This job involves coating the back of the recoil plate in release compound, setting the recoil plate and removing it later - or not. I'm having trouble imagining how it could be 1/8" off and the screw still hits the hole.
