Sling Bolt Head Touch Barrel

[SecretSquirrel38]

The sling bolt head is touching the barrel. Any suggestions on a remedy? I am thinking to take it off and sand the head down.

The other option might be to run a nylon washer between the swivel and the stock and that should gain you some clearance on the inside.

Stick the tip of it on a grinder for two seconds. That is what I have always done.

I was going to say to use a Dremel tool with a very fine grinding drum to take it below the wood. On the other hand the barrel has obviously not been floated. Try glass bedding and floating the barrel. That should cure your contact problem and increase the rifles accuracy too.
