I think you should just give up and sell it cheap to me.

I think you already know what to do. I dont think shooting one box of corelokt can tell you anything. I would try some different ammo. If your going to pass judgement on rifles after only one or 2 loads you will prob be disappointeda lotof the time.

PA257 did you try the Partitions without the business cards under the barrel?

If I were you, Id at the very least take stock off and run some sandpaper where the barrel channel is. Maybe not enough to float the barrel but enough to take off anyting rough. If you feel comfortable taking out enough material to float it by all means go for it. Just put some type of wood sealer on the part you sandpaper. There are plenty of good posts on how to freefloat a barrel on here if you use the search feature you should get all the help you need. Just take your time.
