Thanks for the input, it's currently disassembled and laying on the bench. I will start with a clean and lube followed by a trigger job after some more research.
I noticed the barrel to receiver fit is not tight, I can easily remove the barrel. I could not detect an issue with the v-block, it appears to suck the barrel into the receiver correctly.
I believe I will install a stud in the rear of the action and bed it into the stock, the process looks straightforward and this is a good stock to practice the modification. Shoot it with the barrel floating.VT
If accuracy is not impoved, fill some cells and bed the barrel, let me know if ya'll agree.
The Kidd ultralight threaded barrel is very tempting if the issues are due to a bad factory barrel.
