Hi all,

I'm not sure where this post belongs, but I'm just going to leave it here for now. First off, I have a hardwood sks stock that does not fit well with the reciever. It shows some back and forth movement along the x-axis of the rifle. I wedged down a peice of shimmed Popsicle stick at the point where the wood comes into contact with the wood, the point closes to the bayonet. It worked well for a while, but after firing some 100 rds, the stock became loose once again. I was wondering what other remedies are there to resolve this issue. Secondly, I have some minor rust forming of my bare metal bolt, I tried hitting it with 0000 steel wool with hopps/wd40/gun oil, and pure copper coin, but to no avail. I know that it probably wont be a problem, but it just annoys the heck outta me. https://imgur(dot)com/a/ORCoD

You have to shimm at the back of the receiver, possibly with just paper (not compressible) or metall. Front has to have metal on metal contact on the crossbolt

Another thing that works for removing rust is a little bath in salt and vinegar. Just keep an eye on it, then when done, I remove my parts and clean immediately with hot water then dry off with heat gun, torch, whatever, followed by a coat of something to preserve it.
 
This is the Riflechair bedding video:

Ya, I think the Riflechair system has essentially become the standard. Not much more you can do, with the way the stock is mated to the action. But just those two main bedding points should cut your groups in half.
 
Can't see the video on this PC, but all I use is brass shim-stock. You can get it at any hobby store and it comes in varying thicknesses and widths, and is easy to trim to size.

Or if you're hurting, you can always cut up some tin-can lids to shape.

Anyways, the area at the stock cross-bolt and the rear of the receiver are the go-to areas for this.
