JM, have you added the liner in the rear action screw hole? Doing so will solve a lot of your promlems, it will pretty much rule out the chances of a tang split and reduce if not eliminate action shift.

Not yet! Mostly because the length and location fore and aft have yet to be established. As I understand it, the liner prevents vertical crushing of the wood via overtightening of the rear action screw. It does not help much (or should not be required to help at all) in locating the action fore and aft. That's the function of the recoil lug. Ideally, the rear tang bushing/liner/pillar should NOT contact the rear action screw itself!
