I have an NEF 223 single shot. This might be a stupid question...but is it possible to float the barrel on this gun?

There's a screw that runs through the forestock into a bracket on the barrel. If I eliminated that, what would hold the forestock on?

If I can't float the entire barrel, would it help at all to create a clearance gap from the bracket to the end of the barrel?

Just trying to improve groups a little.

Thanks in advance
