1911 barrel centering in stock

[EddieB]

Picked up a 1911 at a local gun show, cleaned up pretty good but I noticed that the barrel doesn't appear to be centered in the barrel channel. It touches on one side of the aluminum collar as well. Seems to fit securly in the stock with no movement. I have not shot the gun yet, so I don't know how it shoots.

So I guess my question is shouldn't it sit down the center of the barrel channel? Is there a way to correct his? Shims?

Thanks for any input.
