2A1 Ishapore terrible accuracy + other problems

[FLOPPY_DISK]

Yes, it does seem to be sprung outwards. Perhaps that is a factory defect, or some strange abuse happened to it. I am guessing that the steel is not too brittle and that it would it be best to just install the pin to keep the holes aligned and bend it inward until it is touching the trigger on both sides, or should there be some gap?

I need to be more thorough next time I buy something used...

So it looks like I need to replace the missing block of wood and then possibly remove and replace the damaged draws with new ones? Is it possible it will shoot well without reworking the draws, or would it be better to replaced all of those parts at once?

Is there a good resource that I should read or watch regarding this sort of rifle stock repair? At least, is there a preferred type of wood that should be used for the replacement parts?

Also, what do you mean by wrong order?

Not magic, just give it a squeeze until it's snug fit again. Can't imagine how it got opened up. Seems to be the least here though.

"Shade-tree" Gunsmiths have found that if they bend the trigger guard it alters the 'pull-off', rather than doing it properly, it is a 'bodge' than can be done with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver.

Peter Laidler made mention of it in one of his 'presentations' explaining that it must be 'flat' and touching the forend throughout its length.


Extract :

The trigger guard should not spring at the rear or front….., NO it shouldn’t! If it was meant to, it’d be made of spring steel!
