So here's a question. Tried the talcum powder and oil trick to see where there is contact between forend and Action. The barrel sits to the left at the muzzle, appears to push on the right side of the forend about 2 inches in front of action to just in front of the knox and doesn't seem to touch anywhere except on the draws / recoil lugs and against the butt socket . (forened does not appear warped from side to side) It DID touch on the right side of what I think is called the reinforce (the tapered bit between threaded chamber in action and the barrel) and I followed peters advice, removed a Gnats knacker of wood from there and now it doesn't touch anywhere at all. I'm guessing this foreend is screwed by being way too low under the Chamber and reinforce, or is there something really really obvious I'm missing? As I can't afford more wood I'm thinking this could be one for the acraglass bedding and forend reaming experiments.
