I will just throw a couple of thoughts into the ring.
Do the ears appear twisted when sighting? if so, yes the timber may be warped.
When the front nosecap screws are removed, does the nosecap straighten?
With the nosecap and topwood removed, does the barrel bear heavily to one side?
Has the forewood got a noticable twist and does the topwood sit flat?
When replacing the nosecap, does it line straight up with only down pressure required to slide into place, or does it require a physical twist to fit?
Has the nosecap been checked to ensure it is not bent/twisted?
Just the first things us fool armourers check with the eyeball before jumping to any conclusions.
Yes Peter, I know it's called CAP, nose, but I'm an Aussie and I don't care, besides, it was a bloody pom that started that "kingscrew" nonsense.Information
